That's what you get for not using the metric system.
- zackattack 17y agoThis raises the question of whether British children are proportionately better at math problems involving proportionality!
- badger7 17y agoThis should be tested. Probably best if it's a British team, just to be on the safe side.
- ars 17y agoAs you realized in your post a little later, it has nothing to do with the metric system, and if anything in this the US is more "metric" if you will, then the EU.
- alex_c 17y agoAnd the original article has nothing to do with the difference between short scale and long scale. Not being used to thinking in terms of multiples of 10 (or 1000) for all measurements might have a fair bit to do with it.
