Is there any conceivable way this question relates to Microsoft Word?

Sand is measure in yards. Seven wheel barrow loads to a yard.

A "yard" is a cubic yard, 36" x 36" x 36".

A "yard" is a cubic yard, 36" x 36" x 36" = 9 wheelbarrows full.

Doesn't that assume a standard wheelbarrow? (And a standard fill?) I didn't
know there was a standard for either. -- Suzanne S.

Yes there is... it's one of those idiot facts that I picked up many years
ago and has stuck with me! It has been a totally useless fact that I cannot erase from my mind! Terry "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... : Doesn't that assume a standard wheelbarrow?

It would be perverse (and imprecise) to express a "yard" in metric units.

metric measurements help. http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/tips/tipsconversions.htm ========== "suddenmbewechilima" wrote in message ... i am finding difficult to measure sand in terms of metre cubic and metric tonne -- Let us know if this helped you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* Office 2003 Editions explained http://www.microsoft.com/uk/office/editions.mspx |

Hi Terry,
I doubt if this sand measurement from a Northern Island gardening services page will stick in the mind, but it's also an interesting trivia one http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/convert.htm ======= "TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message ...

Hi Terry,
I was planning on that, right after completing this task "How many grains of sand would it take to fill the universe?
