So this brunette walks into the Doctor's office and says, Doc, something is terribly wrong -- I hurt everywhere!

What do you mean? the Doctor asks.

Well I hurt here, she said as she touched her head, and here, touching her knee, and here, touching her shoulder, and here, touching her stomach, and here, touching her elbow, and ....

OK I understand, said the Doctor. I'm scheduling you for a comprehensive set of tests immediately.

Two hour pass, the results are in, and the woman is back in the Doctor's office.

The Doctor approaches her and asks, You're not really brunette, are you?

No, she admits, I'm blonde. How did you know?

You have a broken finger.

bonanova would be correct if there were 1000 bottles.

Spoiler for My point

[1]

1.0000....
0.9999....

are equal to each other only when we goes until infinity.

[2]

there is always some difference between the above two numbers.

Spoiler for Precisely

[1]

And so we have it ... two numbers written in decimal, differing in every decimal place, nevertheless equal.
Why? Because the "..." notation is a symbol that says, in your words, "go to infinity."

That's the answer to the OP.

[2]

There is never any difference between the above two numbers.

You, as jim, refer to 0.99... as if it were one of the terms of the sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, 0.9999 ....
It is not one of the terms of that sequence; it is the limit of that sequence.
As such, it does not become something, it does not change, it is not approximately anything.
It is -- they are both -- precisely, exactly, and forever identical with, unity.

Spoiler for now that I had time

Case 1: No Mixed

WBB (2) - Seat 1
BWB (2) - Seat 2
BBW (2) - Seat 3
(Person in the seat can see four black stamps, so both of his must be white)

Case 2: 1 Mixed
BWM (8) - Seat 3
MBW (8) - Seat 1 (on second turn)
BMW (8) - Seat 2 (on second turn)
(If his were White or Black one of the other would of know, since no other person spoke it must be mixed.)

Case 3: 2 Mixed
MBM (8) - Seat 1 (on second turn)
(If seat 1 were black or white, player three would have know that his was mixed, therefore seat 1 has to be mixed.)
BMM (8) - Seat 2 (on second turn)
MMB (8) - Seat 2 (on second turn)
(Seat 2 can see a person with black stamps, since the other person did not know, then the other person can't see two black or one black and one white, therefore seat 2 must be mixed.)

I guess that is the point I'm not getting.
How would seeing one black and one white disclose your color?

I think at this point Seat 2 knows only that she is not black.
What tells her that she also is not white?

Case 4: All Mixed
MMM (16) - Seat 2 (on second turn)
(For seat 2 the only other possiblilty would be MBM (or MWM), if that was the case then seat 1 would have known (see above), therefore seat 2 has to be mixed.)

I think Seat 2 can't know she is mixed in this case until her third turn.
The (see above) part of your analysis is what I asked about above.

Seat 1 - 18
Seat 2 - 42
Seat 3 - 10

So seat 2 would be the best to choice he would have 42/70 chance that the stamp you laid out in a combination that he could work out.
