Except I think it's a 60.  But 65 is within 8% or so, so how much can
a silly little 5 millimeters matter?

To get even farther off the topic (which topic?) if you're a Holmes
fan, let me be so bold as to recommend something the idea of which
gave me a shiver until I began reading the books:  the additions to
the Holmes ouevre by Laurie King, beginning with _The Beekeeper's
Apprentice_.  It seems wrong, but I liked 'em.

(You shouldn't read it first, but Dartmoor is revisited in _The
Moor_.)
