Units of measurement – we use them all the time, usually without even thinking about it. Though the USA and the UK are still using pre-metric units, the rest of us have, for the most part, moved on. This quiz will measure your knowledge of units, both metric and non-metric; it will plumb the depths of your memory, and weigh up the results! Feel free to share your results in the comments below. Have fun ?
This is Part 2 of a multi-part quiz. You can find Part 1 here.

Ha! Got the perch wrong; thinking of measurements and forgot the fish. But 10/11 is pleasing. Thanks.
Oh that perch! I remember both the measurement and the fish from very early days. Learning stuff like that off by rote in primary school, and going canal fishing with my dad 🙂 Great score though!
I got only 5 Sir. What should I do?
10 minutes on the Step of Shame should sort you out 😉 Only kidding! Five’s not that bad – thanks for playing, Samantha 🙂
got 8 out of 11 right!
Nice score, Edith!
Thank you Norman. I learn a lot with your posts and quizzes.
Ah, thank you for that encouragement. It’s very important to me 🙂
NIICE
Thanks!
great work
Thanks!
9/11. Should have been better. But I had not heard of perch before 🙂 Excellent quiz, the type I enjoy most.
I think you enjoy the same kind of quizzes as I do 🙂 That’s an impressive score. There might be enough material for a part 3, but it will surely be full of more obscure terms!
10/11 I got kelvin wrong,rest were easy!
Well done, Kim! Ready for part 3?
Hey, tell admins that part three, no one can comment on it. It leads to a database error. Also check you number two question, is it supposed to read Acre? 😉 And yes, the acre/foot is a measurement, when I had done the outline for the story, I thought i had forgotten to take the feet part out, Now I know and I did get the question correct. Thanks.
Thanks, Kim, someone already mentioned this, and I’ve sent messages to admin by email and via Facebook. It’s a pain, as I’m missing out on Virils, as well as conversation 🙂
May #2 there is supposed to Are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hectare#Are
Okay great, im sure they will fix it soon.. . An ARE,,. Good thing it was the same measurement in acre lol !!
I’ve no idea why I typed “May” 😮 Oh yeah, I meant “My” 😀
lol, I wondered, but it wasnt worth asking. great typo!
Yes, in fairness, though it didn’t occur to me when I made it. It’s where we derive the word hectARE from 🙂
It is Monday..wonder why the admins arent online?
Ah, they need to get their tea some time! 🙂
🙂
Got 6
That’s a pass, Sheryl! Thanks for playing 🙂

Well done, Art! Very impressive 🙂
You got me on the last one, I got Freshwater fish, I should have known you would throw one left handed monkey wrench question in. Arrghh. Almost got my second perfect score.
Oh well…
So close! And there was me thinking I’d made the last one easy by adding the smiley 😉

You got 10 out of 11 right!
Perfect. You rock!
Oh yes! Good score, Blue 🙂
Perch was interesting! I never heard of that one…
You never heard the word for any of those meanings? I always knew the fish (I used to fish with my dad in the canals hereabouts) and I had to learn those archaic length units as a kid in school!
The fish was the only one I knew! The measurements were all new to me.
9 out of 11. I’m surprised, I’m not good at science, haha.
You’re better than you think! Thanks for playing, Ellie 🙂
I got 7 correct this time! 🙂
