How much is a yard ?

Accurate reading of this question will prevent any klaxons.

Circa 50€/m² on average in Germany, assuming your yard is located by your house, that is, on building rather than farming land.

All the way, if you have nine of them.

No it does not relate to land or distance.

Like it infiltemp - but sadly erroneous.

Eight at Scrabble.

B

Accurate but incorrect B

with arms akimbo like Leonardo's man a yard is from the tip of the nose to the tip of the middle finger of the ruling monarch

Taff, "arms akimbo" means having your hands on your hips and the elbows sticking out, rather than arms outstretched...

Taf the contourtionist !

No, an acre has the same area as a rectangle whose width is a chain and whose length is a furlong. Slight difference.

Reminds me of this

As I 2.54 centimetred my way along the ledge, I could feel my head 0.454 kilogramming with fear that I might fall like a 6.35 kilogramme to the 0.914 metres below. I paused a 12.7 kilogramme of the way along with one 30.5 centimetre 5.03 metred precariously on a short 5.03 metres projecting from the wall.

0.142 litres would be a 1.61 kilometres away by now but anyway I had no 1.29 grammes about her, as I'd had that 4.55 litres my mind for far too long.

I summoned every 28.2 grammes of strength, grasped a rusty 20.1 metre with both 10.2 centimetres and slid to the ground. I could hear a hen nearby 9.10 litring at some loose 0.0648 grammes. Once down, I tried to 1.83 metres why our plan had misfired, what was the 20.1 centimetre I had overlooked, the 1850 metres/hour I had yet to untie.

Thanks for that one.

A yard of ale is officialy 2 pints

Two-and-a-half, isn't it?

B

Up to 3.5 pints but for record attempts the official capacity is 2 pints I beleive

It depends on the country you are from. An aussie yard is bigger than a UK one.

Yer call that a yard? THAT'S a yard...

isn't a Yard a measurement of three fet in lenth (a foot being twelve inches) therefore a yard is 36 inches. One foot is 30 centimetres (ish)
so a Yard in metric measurements would be around 90cm.
