0.999...
I just found an interesting article on Wikipedia talking about how the notations "0.999…" and "1" represent the same real number. At first glance, I didn't see how that could be correct (which is a common misconception) but the proofs are actually quite simple (at least some of them are). In general, I wish I had more time for random stuff like this. There are so many things I'd like to learn more about.
