Some imperial zealots obsess about 1/3 because they incorrectly believe that dividing by 3
is incompatible with metric.
- When they pull the 1/3 stunt, simply ask them what's 1/3 of a U.S. dollar?
- There's never been a world financial meltdown because someone couldn't do division on a
- dollar.
+ When they pull the 1/3 stunt, simply ask them what's 1/3 of a cup?
+
+ While the imperial zealot is stewing over the awkwardness of 1/3 of cup, ask if they
+ would have trouble figuring out 1/3 of a U.S. dollar?
+ The U.S. dollar is metric and there's never been a world financial meltdown because
+ someone couldn't do division on a dollar.
Answering the 1/3 question in metric is not a problem.

Even if you need to pull out a calculator, metric is still far less effort. - Let's say your measurement is 1,267 mm. - You punch 1,267 into your calculator and divide by 3, and you're done in one + Let's say your measurement is 1,107 mm. + You punch 1,107 into your calculator and divide by 3, and you're done in one operation.

- The imperial equivalent is 49 7/8 inches, so you punch 7 into your calculator and divide - by 8 then add 49 then hit equals and finally divide by 3. - You get 16.63 inches, but sadly your tape measure does not have tick marks - for 0.63 of an inch. + The imperial equivalent is 43 5/8 inches, so you punch 5 into your calculator and divide + by 8 then add 43 then hit equals and finally divide by 3. + You get 14.54 inches, but sadly your tape measure does not have tick marks for 54/100 of + an inch.
