I understand fractions very well - they are a ratio. Divide 1 by 3 you get .33333.... to infinity it never ends. Same with 2 by 3. add the decimals and you get .999... to infinity.

It’s a mathematical idiosyncrasy - a thought problem that makes perfect logical sense but shouldn’t be. Yet a provable fact using basic mathematics.

Tired of reading about math and fractions? I have the perfect solution. This bit of feel-good video shows the smartest woman in America walking down some stairs. Hilarity ensues.
