I don't get wat you want to discuss as it is rather obvious.
If you take the sqrt of 0 the answer will be 0 and not matter how many times you nest that it will always be 0.
The sqrt of a number between 0 and 1 is always larger than the number you are taking the square root of as two numbers between 0 and 1 give a smaller number when multiplied together. does not matter what you take x to be if you nest it deep enough the answer will always be 0.999...
What is so odd about this? It is just common sense.
Well, I see you joined in June....
You missed thead that lasted for 2 years about .999... = 1 (exactly)
there were people who still couldn't fathom 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1...
So, .333... + .333... +.333... = .999... = 1.
(not a proof, but should be a good enough demonstration)
