I don’t get it. Are you saying the knife is clean?

[–] porkins@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

Yes. The knife is clean if we are cutting exact thirds. As one other user mentioned, base-10 doesn’t allow prime fractions to be conveyed cleanly, so we use repeating decimals to imply that it is a fraction.

Either we live in a world where .333 is correct or we live in a world where knives come out clean when cutting a cake. We can't have both

Lame.
