Any Math Whizzes Here?

[admin]

Who's good enough at math to figure this out? I have a cigar that I need to figure out the ring gauge for. The catalog doesn't give it. It gives the diameter as 20 mm, which is approx 0.78 of an inch. Ring gauge is measured in 64ths of an inch. So a 64 ring gauge is a 1 inch diameter cigar and a 32 ring gauge is a 1/2 inch diameter. So what is the ring gauge of a .78 inch cigar? :|

.78 X 64
...you do the math :lol:

I am not a math whiz in real or fantasy life.

So......

Grabs up the calculator and enters

1 / 64 = 0.015625, 64th of an inch in decimal notation.
Then we enter

0.78 / 0.015625 = 49.92
So that would make yer seegar 'bout a 50 ring according to this shadetree calculator jockey (-;

Awesome! Thanks!

Welcome.

I have no idea really if that's correct or not, looks good to me though!

LOL

I came close enough to following that it's scary!

Don't know what's wrong but I do know I'm walking away now (-;

Kevin, the easiest rule of thumb to follow when calculating cigar gauge is this:
Every 1/2" increment = an increase of 32pts of gauge; therefore every 1/8" increment = 8pts of gauge

1/4" = 16

1/2" = 32

3/4" = 50

1" = 64
*I know the numbers don't work out exactly right, but this won't fail you
