      That is someone applying imperial system logic to the metric system. No one in their right mind uses fractions to describe 15cm.

        Yeah - really confusing. I worked it out as (c.) 6 inches and then further confused myself as to why I was thinking inches from metres. Wild. Luckily I’ve lived with both metric and imperial and am apparently bilingual.
