Off topic, but imperial instruments always crack me up, with the fractional displays.
That's insane. Is eigths the minimal resolution, or can it do stuff like "15 and 76/89ths of a pound"?
Usually it is by powers of 2 and only up to 64ths at most (least?). So you might see 3/8, 7/16, 15/32, or 37/64, but never 5/7 or 23/24. Also, usually the fraction is reduced, so the numerator will always be odd (1/4 and not 2/8).
Well that's reassuring... slowly backs away hope .. hope they stay odd, get the great fractions of the empire! They are,,, certainly something, wow.. yeah .. i gotta go but
I wish it was all metric; no defense of it here.
Yeah come on 76/89ths would be silly because 89 is prime and 76 is even, it would obviously be rounded to 55/64ths
Drug dealers need to know it's an 1/8th?
