what 3 numbers are in between 0.5 and 2.75?
Do you actually believe there are only 3 numbers in between them?

The 3 I would pick are 1, 1.5, and 2.

But what about 1.1, 1.11, 1.111, 1.1111,...   They're all different and they
are all between 0.5 and 2.75.

What about 2.2, 2.22, 2.222, 2.2222..., 2.101001000100001...

I think you can see that there are heck of a lot more than 3. lol
