I'm no math whiz (Bob would snort iced tea out his nose at THAT understatement) but does the following not, err, follow to anybody else?

". . .1/4 to 1/2 inch thick or if dealing with metric about one milimeter."

Sydnie (the eternal proof-reader)

Yup, does not compute

[SteveB]

1/4 inch almost 6mm to 1/2 inch almost 13mm. 3/8 inch is almost 1 centimeter..........(A.K.A. 10mm)

Don't be too hard on Jay, I believe my return has him all flummoxed. Besides he does know clicks, oh and at his age; cubits .

I do know clicks - and will gladly explain cubits to you when you finally come down to help finish the ark!!! You did say that you hold some sort of rinky-dink boat qualification?

[Don't mean to nit-pick, and good luck in your quest. See you Saturday at the Games, if you'll speak to me after this!]

OK - I'm an idiot - I was looking at a plastic ruler that sort-of lives next to the monitor at Lodge and didn't realize that the 1 on the ruler really meant "10"

I was in favor of the mandatory metric conversion for the U.S. but it fizzled, so I lost interest...... Same thing happened a few years ago with the Martian lander project - remember?

So I will not try for any conversion in the future except for a dram, and we'll agree to use my glass...
