Copper. It's why there's been so much theft of it these days.

Yes, Alumin(i)um is the answer.

So now I need to give a question. Hmm...

When was the inch last redefined?

PeterT · 11-13-2011, 01:53 PM

Last night when a man told his girl friend ...

Sigh. No.

Before this redefinition, the inch was different in the US and the Commonwealth. The US used an inch such that 39.37 inches was 1 metre (with the metre being the current SI metre) and the Commonweath used the Imperial inch, defined as 1/36th part of the imperial yard, a physical object, later measured as being 0.91439569m

OK, perhaps someone can someone can give the decade? Hint: It's within the lifetime of some of the members of MobileRead.

For some reason this seems like a war thing, so I've either got WWI or WWII. I'm thinking WWII and will guess...

1942?
