Martin From: USMA <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Ressel, Howard R (DOT) Sent: 13 January 2021 13:46 To: Postings Metric List ([email protected]) <[email protected]> Subject: [USMA 1658] Metric clue on Jeopardy yesterday Yesterday on Jeopardy Category: Science Center Clue: "This is the non-imperil measure was originally defined as one 10-millionth the distance from the north pole to the equator" Answers given: "what is the foot" and "what is the inch", sad that neither of the respondents realized that those are imperial measures. My son and I got it in 2 seconds of course, my wife had no clue but she at least knew it was not the Inch or Foot. Howard R.
