I'm thinking we might be looking for a metal or a metal band and that "dropped a fraction" might be removing E or PI or PHI or TAU or some other notable fraction
but that requires a lot of letters out of the rest of the clue that I'm just not getting
@Deusovi I won't be surprised if other Lair denizens have figured out what's going on with your profile picture, and they have also probably explained it in chat, but just in case: rot13(Fhccbfr, fgnegvat sebz gur gbc yrsg pbeare bs gur urcgntba, bar fcryyf bhg "QRIVBHF", jvgu bar yrggref ba rnpu pbeare.

Oh, oh, I see a schism coming. The Integralists believe that pi is 3; the Fractionalists believe pi is 22/7, Jafe on his rock believes p·i is imaginary and the Irrationalists have left for Math SE.
Considering a general fake coin problem. There are n coins in total and k of them are fake. Fake coins are lighter than the normal ones. You only have a balance to compare two groups of coins (no amount limit). How many times you will compare at least?
If you want to know how much $3^{100}$ is, you can just type it into a computer and it will spit out a really big number. But that is no fun. The task is to estimate $3^{100}$ with some computation which can be checked and followed without computer aid and that can be written down on at most one...
C4 Hints: 1) The 'the' is probably superfluous. 2) the answer to a previous C4 of mine might help solve part of the current one. 3) 'metal band' and 'fraction' are units.

Who is the missing member?
Hear ye, hear ye, my first is the, Arabic!
Hear ye, hear ye, my second is money, I don’t know why!
Hear ye, hear ye, oyez, oyez, my last is number one (hehehe) with a stick!
Hear ye, oyez! My whole gives out my middle!
aha, so it looks like "dropped a" means removing the letter a
op's five previous c4's, since they're being hinted at:
"Peace and calm heart in mosh pit (6)", answer SHALOM "Taking you north east, and next door winding eastward are rivers. Port home to Archives (4,3,4)", answer TYNE AND WEAR "Perhaps an ambulatory beam from star over a broken oculus? (10)", answer MIRACULOUS "Make teary departees leave quickly? (4, 1, 6, 7)", answer BEAT A SPEEDY RETREAT "Greetings from crater containing south Sudan's capital (6)", answer KISSES
I found this peculiar TV in my grandfather's workshop:

What's the answer to this puzzle?
Hear ye, hear ye, my first is the, Arabic!
Hear ye, hear ye, my second is money, I don’t know why!
Hear ye, hear ye, oyez, oyez, my last is number one (hehehe) with a stick!
Hear ye, oyez! My whole gives out my middle!
