My 9 yr old daughter, who is an avid grade 4 student, scored 10/13.

My 10 yr old son, who would rather drive a stake into his eye than go to school, scored 8/13. Better than 43% of the 1006 adults who responded.

Re: Metric System groupies and scientific literacy

Don't go measuring a two-by-four expecting it to be two by four, though. You'll be disappointed.

There is a strong tradition for wood to be marketed as larger than it really is.

Re: Metric System groupies and scientific literacy

I guess my deadpan deliver needs work.

Though there was a time when a 24 did indeed measure 2 inches by 4 inches.

Yes I know them well as my house was built around 1900.
