At one time rigel iv, a class m planet. had a system of weights and measures called
the bozo system. this system was created and used by the bozonians, who lived on a
continent in the northern hemisphere, and had all of the deficiencies of the current
english system on earth. the relationships between the various units used for length in
the bozo system are given below:
325 cubebs = 1 furbish
6 furbishes = 1 nautical smile
20 nautical smile = 1 minor league
3 minor leagues = 1 major league
the above conversion factors determine the number of furbishes a bozonian would
walk if his doctor recommended that he walk 2.0 major leagues each day to
maintain cardiovascular health.
