    I imagine it like this: First we do the useful stuff as much as we can. But at some point it slows down and halts. Then with that knowledge doing useless stuff is easier. So we widen the search. Maybe most of them are really useless but few that can make a breakthrough is enough. Now back to useful stuff. This process is not discrete of course it’s more dynamic and fluid. Does this make sense?

    Set is a card game where cards have symbols with different colors and shapes and patterns. You try to find 3 cards out of 9 and for each property either all 3 should have the same or all 3 different. For example for color, they can be all red or one red one green and one blue. After a while it should become natural to notice set because there has to be symmetry. When you find it you shout set! and replace them. This is how I remember. It’s been a while.

    That’s not how it’s defined. 0.99… is the limit of a sequence and it is precisely 1. 0.99… is the summation of infinite number of numbers and we don’t know how to do that if it isn’t defined. (0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009…) It is defined by the limit of the partial sums, 0.9, 0.99, 0.999… The limit of this sequence is 1. Sorry if this came out rude. It is more of a general comment.
