That's technically two 9s! 7 comments apetresc Reply xvedejas 16 hours ago If 90% is one nine and 99% is two nines, we can use the logarithm to compute how many fractional nines we have at 98.59%: about 1.9788 nines (almost two!) bhelkey 16 hours ago I think it was a joke that 98.59% has 2 '9's: 9X.X9%. xvedejas 16 hours ago Yes, you're correct about that raffael_de 15 hours ago how is this counted? is 79% "one nine"? ramon156 7 hours ago Its a joke>=90 -> one 9 >=99 -> two 9's >=99.9 -> three 9'sAlso, you can think of e.g. five 9's as five minutes of downtime per year raffael_de 6 hours ago got the joke. but it drove home that i wasn't sure how it's counted. thx make3 16 hours ago and a countable infinity of other invisible smaller ones!!

Yes, you're correct about that

Its a joke
>=90 -> one 9 >=99 -> two 9's >=99.9 -> three 9's
