I've got a History degree and work at an environmental testing lab: my resume sounds like something Verbal Kint would make up. Rich in cats and books. Mandolin player. Crocheter. DFTBA. He/Him
What are some numbers in your field that anyone else in it would identify without even thinking about it, but folk outside may have no idea.

Useful fact: you can approximate the conversion between kilometers and miles with the Fibonacci sequence--1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13: 3km is 2mi, 13km is 8mi, etc. I just figured out that it works for converting centimeters to inches too, if you skip a term: 5cm is 1in, 8cm is 3in. Not perfect, but neat!
