A teacher from the 60s pointed this out in class. He held up a piece of chalk and said here's one whole piece of chalk. He broke it in half and asked if each part was half a piece of chalk. The students agreed. He then told them they were wrong. There were two whole pieces of chalk.
Pieces are confusing as well.

Also, I can prove that 1 = .999999...
Math is wonderful.
