I am horrrrrrribbbbble at trying to visualize measurements. I once had to testify in a court case. The defendant's attorney kept trying to get me to answer how far I thought it was to the back wall of the courtroom. He would not accept that I had NO idea. All I could tell him was that it was more than three feet! He just would not accept that I could not estimate distance.
