Wow, Sarah. Very precise. A celebration at exactly 33.33 years. I like it!
I won't be in the area but I'll help you celebrate by having bit of Marmite, cheese and crackers.

Ah, but a third is 0.33 recurring. Xeno's paradox applies and the moment will never arrive.

wow. that sucks. :(

Exactly, which is why in order to have a party I had to decide how many decimal points to use. It'd be grim to have a party always about to happen but never quite starting. Want to come?

I'm a little bit too far away to come, but i'll wish you a happy 1/3 century

[Mikefule]

Want to come?

Thank you, but I will be at a wild party in Yorkshire that weekend.

Hope you have a good time.

It's not so much that it would never arrive, but that it would have gotten harder and harder to tell that it was still arriving.... :(

Happy Third, Sarah! :)

I would have thought you don't really wanting to be celebrating exactly one third of a century, or your celebration will be over in an infinitesimally short length of time; you wouldn't even be able to open the bubbly, let alone drink any of it, before the clock has ticked over from 33.333...33 to 33.333...34 of a year, by which time you'll have missed it.

You really want to be making your celebration a bit less accurate to make a proper go at it. Celebrating 33.3333 years would result in a mere 52 minutes; that's not very good. 33.333 years would give you 8 3/4 hours; good for an afternoon or evening, but not really enough if you want to making a day of it.

On the other hand, 33.33 years would give you over three and a half days... that's some serious partying! I think I'd have collapsed from exhaustion and sleep deprivation long before kicking out time.

Put me down as a "hopefully", I won't really know until nearer the date... there is a good chance I may have an extremely chaotic month-and-a-bit approaching.

And that 3.5 days happens to include sunday the 30th! I didn't think many people would want to party at 4pm on tuesday. Hope to see you there .
