This week’s
question was what is a totchka? A
totchka is a unit of measurement equivalent to 0.01 of an inch or 0.2540005 of
a millimeter. It was a measure used in
Russia, Estonia, and Latvia.
The question (&
answer) were taken from p. 47 of For Good Measure by William D. Johnstone. The book was published by Holt, Rinehart and
Winston in 1975
