Measurement

Are you measuring what you think you’re measuring?

  1. Yep. It’s that white triangle in the centre ;)

  2. This reminds me of a joke.

    A scientist placed a frog on the table and commanded, “Jump!” The frog jumped eight feet, and the scientist recorded, “Frog with four legs jumps eight feet.”

    Then the scientist sliced off one of the frog’s legs and commanded, “Jump!” The frog jumped six feet, and the scientist wrote, “Frog with three legs jumps six feet.”

    So the scientist cuts off another leg and commanded, “Jump!” The frog jumped two feet, and the scientist wrote, “Frog with two legs jumps two feet.”

    Off came another leg. The scientist shouted, “Jump!” and the frog jumped six inches. The scientist wrote, “Frog with one leg jumps six inches.”

    The scientist cut off the remaining leg and commanded, “Jump!” No response. “Jump! Jump!” Nothing. The scientist wrote, “Frog with no legs is deaf.”
