sequence
<0.33333333333333333...........................>
 |<--------how many 3's---------->|

list of sequences
<0.3>
<0.33>
<0.333>
...

How many 3's have a corresponding 3 in the list?

Everyone refuses to answer, "depends on which row you're talking about".

I pull the lever on a slots machine, 25% the way and the 1st dial spins,
half way and the second dial spins, 75% and the 3rd dial spins...

How far did I pull the lever if 4 digits spin?
sci.math : "some finite amount past the 3 cherries"

I've posted 50 times in 50 ways, how many digits OF THE SEQUENCE?
HOW FAR DID THE LEVER MOVE? Its a measurement of the LEVER
the ANSWER has nothing to do with a set, its up or down.
