I'm pretty sure back a few pages I said I had a hat size of 55CM. Could you imagine me in an Akubra? I'd look like an idiot. At least one could wear their slouch hat smallish, esp as you wore it on a tilt, needing to have a space of three fingers between your ear at the base of the hat on the LH side.

If I remember correctly seven. But i'll have to pass on what the number represent and names.
If I should guess; it has something to do with military units in WW II ?MickR and carlmaloschneider like this.

Well done Otto, seven. No, not military units, so you get 33.3%...Someone else can beat you with 66.6... Originally Posted by Otto

As I thought, you said 53cm, and that most hats look ridiculous on you. Originally Posted by carlmaloschneider

OK, I'll give you the seven states and territories. Otto may be able to name them and so get the 66.6, or you could name them and get it, or we could see an outsider come in and see a three way split; which would of course generate the bonus question and morning duel...

I couldn't name them without using Google.
I'm currently reading up on Great Barrier Reef.
It is on my list of places I want to SCUBA dive.Last edited by Otto; 08-06-2013 at 05:25 PM. Reason: typo
