    WTF, I though they were related in 10s, that’s not even true 🤦.

    EDIT: Shit, now I got it, they’re related in 12s, like in dousens… why, WHY!

      Haha, if only.

      Distance

      -12 inches = 1 foot

      -3 feet = 1 yard

      -22 yards = 1 chain

      -10 chains = 1 furlong

      -8 furlongs = 1 mile

      Weights

      -16 drams = 1 oz

      -16 oz = 1 pound

      -14 pounds = 1 stone

      -8 stone = 1 hundredweight = 112 lb

      -20 hundredweight = 1 ton

      Volume

      -20 fluid oz = 1 pint

      -8 pints = 1 gallon

        What? They measure in chains and stones 🤨 😂. I actually didn’t know that 🤣🤣🤣. Regarding oz, I thought it was a liquid (volume) measurement unit… cuz I’ve seen it on milk containers… oh well, guess I was wrong 😂.

        EDIT: Oh wait, no, it’s for both weight and volume 🤣🤣🤣.

        EDIT 2: Nope, there is a volume and a weight oz 🤣, this thing just keeps getting better and better 🤣.
