– one hundred degrees (intolerable), to zero degrees (intolerable)

– an inch: the width of your thumb (if you work for a living)

– a foot: the length of your foot

– a yard: the length of your arm and about the length of your step.

– one-hundred yards: actionable distance in which you can operate using sprints at full speed. and the maximum range of a spear or javelin throw (hunting and fighting distance)

– a mile: one thousand paces (two steps), and about as far as humans can run ‘fast’.
