Here it falls inch by inch, there it falls centimeter by centimeter... It is twice as fast here! :shock:

Now there's a new way to think about it.

Brazilian snow culture!!

Here it falls inch by inch, there it falls centimeter by centimeter... It is twice as fast here! :shock:

My distinguished fellow guru, may I point out an error in your statement: When we (civilized metric system) have already 2.54 units (cm) snow, you (medieval imperial system) only have 1 unit (inch). One inch equals 2.54 cm. Ergo, we get snow two point five four times faster.

Give Kari an Inch and he takes 2.54 cm. you just cant win <g>

He could, of course, have taken 25.4 mm in which case he could say that he gets snow twenty-five point four times faster.

Normally conversion is made cm > inch > cm, which is why I used centimeters. Using you logic, Wally could win this argument by saying when he gets one unit (inch), we only get 0.0254 units (meter)

Hey, don't include me on that, I am a metric guy trapped in a Imperial system... I could never understand it, why sometimes you divide by 16, sometimes by 12? They couldn't get to an agreement?
Regarding the snow speed discussion, maybe I put a foot into it...

Well today is my wedding anniversary and I have some gorgeous roses.

Congratulations Joan and Mr. Archer!

Regarding your metric system...I can't understand your mesurements either

1 inch is 2.54 cm which begs the question of why the cm measure up to an inch in a very odd measurement (2.54 is very strange)

It all comes down to the region and we learn in very odd ways. Should there be a global system for this? Yes!

 

[wallyinnc]

Actually, the inch was defined after some King's thumb measurement (don't know if the same they used the foot too). And it measured 2.54cm. May be a legend.

You got it wrong, Zid What's odd is that 1 centimeter is 0.3937 inch!

Personally, I find a bit confusing to remember that 1 mile = 1 760 yards = 5 280 feet = 63 360 inches. It is easier to think 1 kilometer = 1 000 meters = 100 000 centimeters.

To add for confusion, 1 kilometer is 0.6214 miles and 1 mile is 1.609344 kilometer.
