Yes, I know its been around for a long time (metric system)...but strange that it would be used on a question dealing with lumber (I assume late 19th century lumber was a domestic product, and wouldn’t be quantified in meters). I just question these ‘old tests’ that pop up in e-mail chains, etc. every once in a while.
Perhaps, but then again when is the last time that you had a real world problem with the space time relationship of two trains leaving Chicago? I suppose that even in the olden days test questions were designed more to test knowledge than imitate life.
