It's a long way to Tipperary...but that might depend on how you measure it

Following on from Trudi's suggestion that we think about how far we'll be running [walking] in Smoots, there's been a few other alternative suggestions to the way we think about the task ahead.

Apparently, we're approximately going to be doing 295680 handbreadths (that's the Biblical measurement - presumably in different time periods this differs according to the average size of peoples' hands)

Alternatively, in Old Russian measurements, we could be said to be doing
506879.94 vershoks, or the completely unpronouncable 12801.6 makhovaya sazhens. At least once we've spent time trying to figure out how to pronounce them the walking will seem like an easier task.

My favourie so far I think is the 85477644 pixels. I thought pixels were a computer thing - so presumably that's the distance of all those pixels laid end to end on the floor - although doubtless someone who really knows what this measure of distance is will put me straight on this shortly...
