24 Jan 05 - 12:40 PM (#1387105) Subject: RE: Struggling with a quiz From: greg stephens I find it difficult to keep up with the way they keep changing county boundaries and names, but I have a feeling that recently, if not now, there were 8 counties in Wales...might this be the answer to 8=C in W? |

24 Jan 05 - 01:00 PM (#1387139) Subject: RE: Struggling with a quiz From: greg stephens The fact that there are 8 gallons in a bushel does not imply that you are measuring a liquid.Corn, for example, was measured in gallons and bushels, because you can pour it. But it's not a liquid! |
