Two quick-fire rounds, built from the measurement archive.
Spot the Fake
Three of these measurements are real and one we invented. It is harder than it sounds, because the real ones are already strange: a gurry, a swill, a gowpen, a blood-tub. Every genuine unit has its own page in the archive.
Which is the invention — a thrimble, a firlot, a spyndle or a dicker?
Play →Higher or Lower
Two historical British units, same dimension, and you pick the larger. Firkins against kilderkins, tods against cloves, roods against oxgangs. One wrong answer ends the streak.
Which is bigger, a tod or a clove?
