So why count them at all , why not just guess.
Because I'd be out by a huge margin.
I can understand that what with you head butting things because you don't know how high they are.
So you can pick up a lump of paper and say "there are about 150 sheets here"?
I can do that without a micrometer.
Why not gove them a new ream and say there;s about 200 sheets there, or just take about 75% from the pack and say there;s about 150 sheets.
Would we remain in the EU if you didn;lt guess right, what disaster would happen if you gave someone 140 sheets rather than 150 ?
A micrometer is easier.
Your 50mm = 500 sheets = 1 ream exactly, so that's fine.
except it measures 54cm and there's a few pages short
54cm?!
sorry meant 54mm
try measuring a ream of paper.
My reams are 50mm. Depends on the gsm and quality I guess.
So not much point in using sich a measurement for counting sheets then.
But if someone a stack of paper measuring Xmm your method would work.
My reams are always 50mm. So the micrometer is a quite accurate way of quickly counting.
So is 8% accuracy OK ?
Where are you getting 8% from?
4mm is about 8% of 50mm
Not sure how accuratly you need to count out 200 pages
is +/- 16 pages OK
Yes.
So how accurate do you need to be in selection 150 sheets ..
140-160 would be fine.
So why worry enough to use a micrometer ?
It's for quickness, not accuracy. How else would you count 150 sheets?
