Probably should’ve just asked Wolfram Alpha

    There are two meanings being conflated here.

    “1/3 more” can mean “+ 1/3” or "* (1 + 1/3)“.

    So “1/3 more than 1/3” could be 2/3 or 4/9, but not 1/2.

    Instead 1/2 is 1/2 more than 1/3, not 1/3 more. That’s the meme I’ve seen go around recently.
