No. .999... repeating does.

1/3 = 0.333...
2/3 = 0.666...
1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3, or 0.999... or 1.

I assumed it would be implied that the .999 is repeating, as it's rather hard to express that in a thread title.

No, it does not. It equals 0.999
 0.(9) however, does.

No. .999... repeating does.

1/3 = 0.333...
2/3 = 0.666...
1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3, or 0.999... or 1.
I have covered this subject a million times.
.999 repeating does not equal 1
Just because we do math in a flawed base (base10) does not mean that you can take a value and claim that it equals a completely different value.

Simply put, 1/3 does not equal .333 repeating.

Try the same logic you have applied here in base12.
You'll find yourself in a very different situation.

1/3 = 0.333...

Uh, yeah it does. Every 3 you add to the end gets you closer and closer to 1/3. It's true that it would never equal 1/3 if you were to stop the sequence at any finite point, but the expression is 0.333... repeating to infinity, which will and does equal 1/3.
