@Mi-Amigo teaches us the mysteries of time and dimension

A typo, for sure - but light years are not a measure of time either 🤣

Great quiz, shame about the cheese 😕👍

I just thought It was a typo for yard so didn't let it put me off. I well remember those measurements. I think rods and chains were involved in the table as well.

A question for the oldies...
