I just did my homework ;-)

Hmm ...

I deemed that googling the answer or seeing what other people were answering was cheating; I just estimated by eye. So I thought that being one mark off was pretty good. ;-)

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think that is pretty good. Have a bonus mark!

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

I estimated it by eye, too. I didn't know. :-)

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

I think that's very. Have two bonus marks!

Interestingly, my memory of how far up my leg it ought to come was about right, so if I'd gone and measured my leg I'd have got the right answer (or at least something much closer). Apparently I think of myself as even stumpier-legged than I actually am.

I know just how long my legs are, but that's because I've just bought a pair of trousers.

I relate to that last comment!
