2. Shoe size - Wikipedia

   Children's shoes start from size zero, which is equivalent to 3 + 11 ⁄ 12 inches (11 + 3 ⁄ 4 barleycorns = 99.48 mm), and end at 13 + 1 ⁄ 2. Thus the formula for children's sizes in the US is child shoe size (barleycorns) = 3 × last length (in) − 11 3 ⁄ 4. equivalent to: child shoe size (barleycorns) ≈ 3 × foot length (in) − 9 3 ...

5. Reed–Solomon error correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed–Solomon_error...

   The Singleton bound states that the minimum distance d of a linear block code of size (n,k) is upper-bounded by n − k + 1. The distance d was usually understood to limit the error-correction capability to ⌊(d−1) / 2⌋. The Reed–Solomon code achieves this bound with equality, and can thus correct up to ⌊(n−k) / 2⌋ errors. However ...
