33.333333333333336% of me is a huge nerd! How about you?
I guess I am not nerdy enough. Oh well, too bad :P
But you know, I should up my nerd factor because when I saw that result I got pissed that the algorithm used obviously didn't round correctly... what's that 6 doing on the end?

Suppose the number was really an irrational number like
33.333333333333335953388596043092486...

Then the rounding would be accurate.

Suppose that would be stupid because the result comes from a finite number of questions with a single correct answer for each :P

I'm just saying it's possible that your percentage rank is not a standard #right/#total calculation. There may be all kinds of factors in there, and some of them are extrapolated statistics based on demographics. Those statistics may involve series, which could easily lead to irrationality.

OK I'm making that up. But it's possible!
