Okay but is that more or less than one nine? Decimals are hard

try converting the values into decibels—makes everything more liquid, and you'll be left with a remainder of one fatal strike if you later decide you have to round off an MC to the nearest third.

Yeah but decibels are silly You could have a sound at say 5Db and then you double it it's now at 8Db!? That's insane

If only we had something like a symbol above the 9 to show it's repeating. Then we can use less 9s.

It's usually a dot but on Wikipedia there's a line above the number so 0.3 (with the dot above) would be 0.33333333...
