What does "it's a third of the way up/down" mean?
I think "the way" seems to be the supposed entire length in the context, as in "we are only a third of the game through" meaning a third of the game is over and now we have two thirds more.
But I can't see how up or down can work here. I do know I need to give a context or actual example, but I guess this might not enough. I only saw the sentence "it's a third of the way up" as an example, just one sentence. It was a question about how one can indiciate a location on a screen while two people are watching it and one of them is telling the other the location.
