A. If both parents are 1/6th than you're 1/6th.
B. No parent could be 1/6th because the denominator has to be a factor of 2 (or 1). 1/1, 1/2, x/4, x/16, x/32, x/64. That's how it seems to me.
These number may not seem important but they were very important during WWII.
You see, if you were Jewish with a fraction that was greater than 1/64 in N-zi germany you were in real trouble.
I think Hitler's was around that figure. Maybe that's how they came up with that threshold.

Okay, I know I would get the geometry math wrong! LOL
So, BOTH parents were 1/3 German for Mexitron to be 1/3 German... as he gets HALF of each parent... right?
I am a Euro mutt as well... Scottish, Irish, German, Norwegian, French, Welsh, etc. BUT, I feel at home in Baja!

That reminds me of a conversational spanish class I took at a junior college a few years back. We were practicing gender word endings.
Mi madre - my mother
Mi padre - my father
Mis padres - ??
Me: My fathers? But, that's ridiculous. How can anyone have more than one father?
Teacher: Son, you're in San Francisco. Anything's possible here.
