To clear this up..
.3 repeating is a non-terminal number - it goes on forever.
However, .3 repeating cubed does not equal 1.
Similar to calculus, it simply is as close to 1 as it can get, limit 1.
So therefore, the only possible way it can be correct (.3 repeating does not equal 1/3 by such logic {no matter how many 3's there are, it'll never reach 1, thus the limit}) is if it directly says 1/3, which the forum does not, therefore forum math fail.

3.33+3.33+3.33=10 [because] 1/3=3.33 [cuz] 1/3+1/3+1/3=100 [then] 3.33+3.33+3.33=10

You're so smart baby.

1/3+1/3+1/3=/=100.
And there's no evidence of 1/3=3.33, I've proven rather well why it does not o.O.

You know that's basically what I said because it will always be 99.99% when it is added up. lol

I used a paragraph proof.
I made a mistake by saying .3 repeating cubed cause I was tired, meh.
The point is still across.
