The heights were originally given rounded to the nearest inch and have been converted and rounded to the nearest centimetre. Since the conversion factor is one inch to 2.54 cm this is not an exact conversion. The original inches can be recovered by Round(x/0.0254) and then re-converted to metric without rounding. If this is done the results become:
The report showed that 98.7% of 100,938 responses preferred the metric system; 17.6% wanted a purely metric system whereas 81.1% opted for the status quo (being as per the current legislation, which is imperial units can be displayed only as optional, less prevalent, supplementary units).
From the accident report, "The avalanche released from a southeast-facing slope and fell 600 vertical feet [180 m] and stopped by crashing through the 10-inch [25 cm] thick ice of Yankee Doodle Lake. The displaced water resulted in a surge 10–12 feet [3.0–3.7 m] tall along the south shore."
