I've attached a sample photo with this message. The numbers on the left are, of course, the height in centimetres with the hundreds digit omitted. The numerical values seen in the photo (attached) are not 70, 80 and 90 cm but instead represent 170, 180 and 190 cm. Why anyone thinks it is easier and clearer to read "80" and know that it means "180 cm" is beyond me.
