Aw come on, Jurgen! You've got to remember that most of us have been trained
in the government schools to be good compliant sheeple, not mathematicians.
We need more clues.

Subject: Metric or Standard?(Test yourself!)

Are you Standard System literate? Are you Metric System literate?

By answering the following question, you can determine objectively which is
the right system for YOU:  (I am assuming there is no right system for
everyone!)


"Standard" System:
You have a # 12 size screw and you want to drill the clearance hole .020"
larger than the screw shank.  Which drill do you use?
a) #1 size drill bit
b) "A"  size drill bit
c) 15/64 " drill bit

Metric System:
You have a 5.5 mm screw and want to drill the clearance hole 0.2 mm larger
than the screw shank.  Which drill do you use?
a) 57 mm drill bit
b) 5.7 mm drill bit
c) 5.3 mm drill bit

Remember, no peeking  in books, charts, and tables :^)
