You know how many people get these wrong?

I was a machinist for 40 years in a small shop (8-10 people). It was absolutely amazing to me that 5 of the 8 people that was asked the question "how many 1/16ths in an inch?" had no clue. 40 years and that one question was probably the most WTF moment, and there were plenty of those moments.
