Why isn't my 3 column layout fitting?

Take a look a the screenshot.

The top container is 6 parts wide (will add a 1/3 next to the 2/3 later).
Below that I'm trying to do a 3 column layout with 1/6, 3/6, and 2/6 but for some reason it won't fit in that width even though it ads up to 6/6. 

Appreciate any help.

Hi, the containers aren't divided into 1/6's this was just a UI tool that helped, but clearly it needs to be improved. We went with the blocks as a way to avoid overwhelming users with percentages - perhaps we can try to add hinting to help.

Here's how they are really sizing:

1 block selected = 25% (1/4)

2 blocks selected = 33% (1/3)

3 blocks selected = 50% (1/2)

4 blocks selected = 66% (2/3)

5 blocks selected = 75% (3/4)

6 blocks selected = 100%

So, your combinations of 1 block, 3 blocks, and 2 blocks is actually 25%+50%+33%.
