You are bouncing back and forth. Earlier you said you’re cutting a pie in three equal pieces. Now you’re saying you’re not cutting a pie in three equal pieces but merely dividing 1 by 3.
But you’re the one who introduced us to your pie right at the start of this thread (your second post and your fifth post reveal it.) You are the one who keeps mentioning it.
Don’t you remember? You said the following on the previous page:
Where did you get the idea that a whole can be 3 equal pieces?
If I start with 1 whole, and I cut 3 equal parts, the parts are 33.333…%, and that means that the parts are not 3 equal parts, there is a 4th part missing! Are you really that stupid?
If you only want to talk about numbers, without any reference to pies, then you should only talk about numbers. Stop talking about motherfucking pies and their pieces. Be consistent and take responsibility for your actions. Right now, it looks like you’re cornered and looking for a way out. But there’s no way out. Me and obsrvr are blocking your way out (:
He’s giving you an example of a whole (a stack of three equally sized blocks) divided into three equal parts (three equally sized blocks.) That pretty much disproves your claim that 1 cannot be divided by 3. (Note that both of us agree with you that (\frac{1}{3} \neq 0.\dot3).)
The whole is 1 whole stack, not 3 blocks. If you want to claim it’s 3 blocks, then it’s 300%/3=100% each part. We are not talking about 300%/3, we are talking about 100%/3.
The whole is BOTH one whole stack AND three blocks. They are equivalent expressions.
Either way, the volume of each block relative to the volume of the whole (the stack of three blocks) is NOT one hundred percent. The blocks are SMALLER than the entire stack, they are NOT the same size as the stack.
