Thumbs up

Engineer

Zeke is probably quite correct. I used very rough figures to fudge the answer to be about 1.5. In all seriousness, that is probably as close as you need for a 'rule of thumb' calculation. (about as accurate as "1 thumb = 10nm" sort of thing).

Close enough for Trevor Thom anyway, who is, incidentally, not my favourite author!
