Re: A gem from Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader
Its about time Britain went fully Metric, and you guys can follow our example of embracing a better system of weights and measures.
I guessed 7.5, because a yard and a metre is pretty close to the same, and there are around 3 feet in a metre. Didnt make sense that even imperial would have 3.108 feet to a yard so made most sense. [ QUOTE ] lol I didn't know the answer, but I certainly knew that the height of two kids isn't 78 feet [/ QUOTE ] No kidding. I can look at my foot, and i can realise that 2 kids doesnt equal 78 of them. She should know that the answer aint right and take a better guess. 355 is not a better guess though [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Phil, use a base 10 system for breaking up the day and then you can be fully metric. Otherwise it's all just talk. [/ QUOTE ] No half-measures! Break the year into 100 days.

Re: A gem from Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader
I though it was appropriate spelling for the subject! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
The beat is I actually looked up the correct version of the word but got a couple of phone calls, emails, deliveries, customers in the office so I didn't make the correction - but I made $$.
