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.
