The intervals are different. A shifted interval contains a different

Consider this simplified argument. Let every unit interval after a natural number n which is divisible by 10 be coloured black: (10n, 10n+1]. All others are white. Is it possible to shift the black intervals so that the whole real axis becomes black?

 Yes. Shift the interval (10n, 10n+1) to (n/2, n/2+1).

For every finite (0, n] the relative covering remains f(n) = 1/10, independent of shifting. The constant sequence has limit 1/10.
