hell unit? #149

Closed n3oney closed 12 months ago

n3oney commented 12 months ago

rink seems to know of some unit called "hell", which is approx. 114.2998 meter. Concidentally, there's the unit "englishell", which seems to be 1% of it - Definition: englishell = 45 UKinch = approx. 1.142998 meter.

Not sure where the hell gets picked up from, but you can do this too: image

Okay, upon further consideration, it seems like it's understanding it like this: ell is an alias of englishell, and hell gets understood as hectoell, which means ell * 100. So it makes sense. I guess it's just a fun coincidence, and I'll close this :P
