He took the protractor from her and started to try to measure the thing. He was never good at this kind of thing.

"Ummm. I think you're right. I'm not sure."
Gold blinked.

"Mr. T!" How was he going to measure a circle with a protractor? Silly Mr. T. "You can't measure a circle with a protractor, you do it with a ruler." She smiled at him, and picked up a ruler.

"Like this."

Careful not to shift the paper from its position as she worked, Gold placed the '0' mark of the ruler at the top-center point of the circle. "See?" she told him, pointing to where the bottom of the circle coincided with a certain reading on the ruler.

"Two and a half inches, so we should be fine."

She removed the ruler from the circle, and placed it at a different point, to measure the distance between the graph paper and the block of wood. "Mr. T?" She looked up. "Could you double-check this measurement for me?" she asked him. "The distance from the edge of the graph paper, to the block of wood, I mean."

Then they could note it down.

Mmmm.
