This week's tip comes courtesy of Mr. House: "There are many things that you have memorized. Your address, your phone number, a loved ones phone number, your student ID, etc. But there is one number that you should memorize that you probably haven't even thought of. Open you hand and spread out your fingers as much as possible. Then measure the distance from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your pinky. Memorize that number. This way, whenever your are out and about in your life, you will be able to use that to precisely measure (in strange increments). No measuring tape around and you need to find the length of a desk, some furniture, or a truck bed? If you know that number, you can get very close to the actual measurement."
