So the British and American values are the same. This mile does, however, differ from the US Survey Mile, which is precisely 3 millimeters longer -- hardly a major difference. Rob |

Consequently, on a single gallon you'd go farther in the UK than in the US. |

In that spirit, and just for grins, here's a puzzle. A pig weighs 30lb plus half its weight. How much does the pig weigh? -- Dan. |
