IN property law often times ACTUALLY Holding on to an object or occupying a some land is often decisive.\n\nFor example: if you are walking down a street and someone snatches your purse and is then caught, YOU do not have to prove that the purse is ACTUALLY yours, that you did not steal it yesterday etc etc, before the person is convicted as a thief. All you have to show to convict that person of theft is that you were just holding on to a purse before he snatched it. \n\nSimilarly if your purse is stolen and is not found within 5 years(statute of limitations) the thief basically now owns the purse, because there is no way you can prosecute him.\n\nThis doctrine also often applies to real property. If you actually LIVE on the land(but don't have a legal title, basically you are squatting) you can kick off a new trespasser without showing title. And if you live on the land long enough(usually 10 years) You will get a Title to it, and the person who had it before but did not use the land looses it(This is known as adverse possession).\n\nSo basically often(90% of time) the entitlement to property will be useless or irrelevant while ACTUAL POSSESSION will control.

Here is a cool trick. When you divide any number(smaller than 9) by 9, or mulitple nines, the answer is a repeating decimal using that very number, following the number of 9's in the divisor.\nExample: 1/9= .11111...\n2/9= .22222...\n2/99 = .02020202...\nThe more 9's the bigger the repeating sequence.\nYour example has 5 9's, so the sequence is 5 spaces, ending with one:\n1/99999 = .000010000100001...\n(Just following suit):\n2/99999 would equal .0000200002...

I have no idea of the context, but this is the translation:\n"you, la Bruyère and Tori cannot judge me. Leave the table of multification to God"\nThat last part does not make sense to me. May be the "table of multification" is a french expression for something like "final judgement". \nGreetings from Holland!
