My understanding is that a rod and a perch are the same length...

Anyway, Mxy's 40 is right.

Kiwi, you've quoted the number of yards in a furlong! :P

Ya, I went and looked them up and as of 1 July 1959 they are the same.  (I only knew of a perch by it's original length of 10' from ancient Roman use....)

I know furlongs (1/8 mile) from an old joke from the early Internet days where we used it to convert MPH speeds to furlongs-per-fortnight posting the latter for fun to mess with people's skulls....  ::)


Next one:

What is a "bowline on a bight?"

Extra Credit: What is its typical usual use/purpose?
