you fail so much.

look at it like this:
one third is equal to .3r right?
therefore, two thirds is equal to .6r, as 3 + 3 = 6
thus, three thirds is equal to .9r, because 3 + 3 + 3 = 9

but obviously, three thirds is also known as ONE!

Cockroaches are not, in fact, the most durable insects in a nuclear catastrophe.

Fruit flies can withstand roughly 3.2x more nuclear radiation than a Cockroach.

However, the king of all things in such a situation is the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, which can withstand roughly 75 times the radiation a cockroach can.
