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.

yeah sure so there;s no gaps between the pages.

Why would there be?

because otherwise the paper would stick together and you wouldn't be able to separate the sheets.




There must be a reason you can think of for needing to count 150 sheets of paper. Use your imagination.

Sorry can't think of any reason why you'd need to count out 150 sheets of paper from a ream. If there was enough of a reason perhaps they'd sell then in packs of 150.
