The sequence is not infinite.

That's a wrong answer.

No, it isn't.

Hah, I didn't even think about google. Well, if you have any pride in your math abilities, you'd steer clear of the google fruit of temptation.

I'm curious... what made you recognize that this was a progression of the same number written in different bases?

I teach electrical engineering - embedded programming is one of my main areas.

No, it isn't.

why not? base can become smaller. base 0.5 0.25 0.125 etc

The website is so wrong. Base 1? Are you kidding me. The only digit that you can have if there is a Base 1 is 0.

Ok, then. Tell me what digits there are in base 0.5, .25, etc?

There is mathematical work done with stuff like base (any real number greater than 1).
