Baby Boo Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 The objective is simple. What is the meaning, of this line? "king Harold died, mother doesn't care much" (no offense to any harolds out there!) Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's a pneumonic device to remember the metric prefixes King - Kilo (1x10^3) Harold - Hector (1x10^2) Died - Deka (1x10^1) Mother - Base (1x10^0) Doesn't - Deci (1x10^-1) Care - Centi (1x10^-2) Much - Mili (1x10^-3) I always prefer "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk." But different strokes for different folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
