cuz 4/16 can get busted all the way down to 1/4. The one after that is your 12/16. They can get busted all the way down to 3/4. And of course, everybody knows that 8/16 can get busted all the way down to your halves. And that's it. Pretty simple. The more you use the tape measure, the more you get used to it. Anyways, it's Wednesday. I got some stuff to go measure. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
