Another 3 to 1 ratio example that is commonly seen by those using a shopping cart in the U.S., is a decal attached to the fold down child seat which provide safety rules for parents who place children into the basket while shopping. The following example was copied from a Toys R Us shopping basket, though I have seen a slightly different version on a basket used by Wal-Mart grocery stores. I have also seen a two decal variety as well as older carts which have no child safety rule decal whatsoever. On shopping baskets at Food-4-Less grocery stores, the same type of image as that shown below can be seen, except that there are 3 "No's" and 1 "Yes" below the captions:
I have seen three variations of the above rules displayed in 2, 3, and 4 (3 to 1 ratio) representation types on various shopping carts.

3 to 1 ratio of Book of Mormon plates:
The Book of Mormon is claimed to be a sacred record of peoples in ancient America, and was supposedly engraved upon sheets of metal (as opposed to stone). Four kinds of metal record plates are spoken of in the book itself:
- 1 of 3.
The Plates of Nephi, which were of two kinds: the Small Plates and the Large Plates. The former were more particularly devoted to the spiritual matters and the ministry and teachings of the prophets, while the latter were occupied mostly by a secular history of the peoples concerned (1 Nephi 9:2-4). From the time of Mosiah, however, the large plates also included items of major spiritual importance.
- 2 of 3.
The Plates of Mormon, which consist of an abridgment by Mormon from the Large Plates of Nephi, with many commentaries. These plates also contained a continuation of the history by Mormon and additions by his son Moroni.
- 3 of 3.
The Plates of Ether, which present a history of the Jaredites. This record was abridged by Moroni, who inserted comments of his own and incorporated the record with the general history under the title "Book of Ether."
- 1 of 1.
The Plates of Brass brought by the people of Lehi from Jerusalem in 600 B.C. These contained "the five books of Moses,... And also a record of the Jews from the beginning,... down to the commencement of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah; And also the prophecies of the holy prophets" (Nephi 5:11-13). Many quotations from these plates, citing Isaiah and other biblical and non-biblical prophets, appear in the Book of Mormon.
Note: The presence of many patterns-of-three in the Mormon Religion is an historical record that the Religion is a later-born development (of human cognitive development), just like the presence of a multitude of patterns-of-three in the New Testament as opposed to fewer "threes" examples in the Old Testament. This later-born development of an increased "threes" usage can also be seen in the greater prevalence of "threes" in America (with its origins as a newer British colony) in contrast to fewer threes used in (the older) Britain. However, such distinctions can also occur amongst individuals in families or social groups even though the larger society may seem to be particularly void of a "threes" usage in a variety of areas.
3 to 1 ratio (abstract) view of shamrock:
The "petals" of the "lucky" (four-leaf clover) Shamrock are viewed as portions of a figure-of-eight (instead of being 3-pointed triangles resulting in a 3 X 3 = 9 configuration) and the stem is analogously identified with the number 1. No less, since the Shamrock is sometimes interpreted to be a symbolic gesture of the Christian trinity, some may want to interpret the "13" as a 3 to 1 ratio portrayal in terms of the 3 persons in 1 God representation. (Typically, the shamrock is of the three-leaf variety.)
3 to 1 ratio of general watermelon categories of the more than 50 varieties found in the U.S.:
- 1 of 3. Allsweet- Red flesh

- 3 of 3. Seedless Red to Yellow flesh
- 1 of 1. Yellow Flesh- Yellow to bright Orange flesh
3 to 1 word association associated with a guard on duty in the military:
Halt! Who goes there?3 to 1 ratio hit pattern observed in volleyball:
- 1 of 3. Initial hit to teammate after ball is served by opposing team player.
- 2 of 3. Ball is hit back to first teammate.
- 3 of 3. First teammate hits it back in what some refer to as the setup position.
- 1 of 1. Second teammate typically hits (slams) the ball very hard over the net to the opposing team in an attempt to prevent them from returning the ball in a like- mannered way.
In glycolysis, two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate are produced per (one) molecule of glucose.
(3- 2- 1) to 1 ratio for a particular type of concrete mix:
- 1 of 3. Three shovels of sand
- 2 of 3. Two shovels of stone
- 3 of 3. One shovel of concrete
- 1 of 1. Water added as needed to keep consistency moist but not wet nor too dry to insure bonding of materials.
Though the following example is related more-so to the "three," it contains an interesting reference of 3 and a half, which could be interpreted as a form of the 3 to 1 ratio:
Talking about "Three", when I think about it now, there are so many sayings and traditions etc. in Japan you will probably have to make a new category titled Threes in Japan. We have a lot of them related three. For example "it takes three days to be bored with a beautiful woman and/or to get used to an ugly woman". "Third time lucky" (you seem to have a similar saying according to my dictionary) (3do me no syoujiki). Those are sayings and there are even more I can remember now.
Someone said "Drink, Tissue paper, Condoms (things you buy at pharmacy) (*Drink meant here is a small bottle of liquid that you take when you need to be energetic.) Somehow we seems to have things of Three and Half. For example, when a wife leaves her husband, we say "she issued the/a three and half (3 kudari han -meaning a letter of three lines and half.) There is at least one more I can remember now which won't be mentioned in public communication device. This is interesting.
What you mentioned in Japan when people get married they finish drinking Japanese rice wine (sake) in three times is called "San san kudo". Why and when did you start to think about Three? If I may ask. To me, two is a couple, four is cloud or friends, and three is mysterious. And White, Red and Rose. I did this properly. Anyway although I'm rather a free woman, I have to go to bed. Talk to you soon. Oh one more thing. I don't know much about html or making your own homepage but can't you make this writing space a little wider? Or width, depth, and height if I remember correctly. Yumi-nyan
Note: The occurrence of "threes" in the Japanese must be analyzed through the lens of a cultural anthropologist to the extent it must be determined which, if any examples of the "three" in the Japanese culture are due to the influence of the American Occupation after World War II.
3 to 1 ratio portrayed as a "13" (as opposed to superstitious connotations) on the great seal of America?:
- 1 of 3 [objects]. 13 arrows clutched in one claw of the eagle (the other claw holds one olive branch, which some observers interpret as representing more inclination towards war than peace.)
- 2 of 3 [objects]. 13 red and white stripes, said to represent the original 13 colonies.
- 3 of 3 [objects]. 13 layers (steps) to the pyramid.
- 1 of 2 [words]. 13 letters to the phrase "Annuit Coeptis" (which means "a new order of the ages.)
- 2 of 2 [words]. 13 letters to the phrase "E pluribus unum" (which means "out of many, one.")
With America based on so many superstitions, it's easy to grasp why it can not endure.
3 to 1 expressions (or in the mode of a 1 to 3 ratio):
What, are you nuts?No, I got it
