  That still means 14.3% is.

    Fun fact: decimal representations of sevenths follow a repeating pattern of the same 6 digits in the same order, from a different starting point:

    1/7: 0.142857142857…
    2/7: 0.285714285714…
    3/7: 0.428571…
    4/7: 0.571428…
    5/7: 0.714285…
    6/7: 0.857142…

    Something similar happens with 13ths, but there are two different sets of six repeating digits, with 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 12 (thirteenths) using one set of digits (769230) and 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11 using the other (153846). Note the mirrored pattern of numerators here: 1_34______9A_C (using hex-like letters to represent digits over 9) and 2__5678__B. There’s probably a great reason for that but it hasn’t occurred to me, and I’ve never looked it up.

    I also greatly enjoy that this happens with the two numbers most associated with luck, 7 and 13.

    Took me way too long to realize you meant the complement of 6/7 as in 6/7 + 1/7 = 1

  Psychic damage is real. The teacher is just trying to protect what little sanity she has left.

  I’m getting old, what are s 6/7?

    It’s a meme where you say “6 7”, optionally with a hand motion like you’re weighing something

    There’s no meaning. That is the full context. Any situation where you do any part of the meme is a valid use of the meme

    And that’s why I personally find it uniquely annoying

      Ah like “six on one hand and half a dozen on the other” but purposely with bad math?

      • theneverfox@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        No, see that has meaning… This doesn’t. No information is contained in 6 7, there is no concept or reference or anything to it

        No, you're thinking too much into it. The point of "six seven" is that it's meaningless.

    Dumb thing kids say to annoy people.

      Yeah I get that but it’s has some meaning. Like it could be the number of some sport star or a reference to some show with a hero team with 67 in the name or could be even darker like with the number 88…
