Comment on inches plus coins equals metric system
It doesn’t divide by 3
Granted, but it divides by two multiple times. Take a good, round number like 1024 and you can halve it 10 times in a row.
Decimal thirds suck. One gets 33c the second gets 33c the third gets 34c
We’re just lucky that 1c is negligible
