even more pathetic poem for Lie-in King

[giveup]

Size does'nt matter, Thats what they say,But I've wrestled this problem, for many a day.Your Knowledge is vast, I know I've a cheek, But which CUBIT is longest, Biblical,Roman or Greek?

[grasscarp]

The Roman Cubit was 17.47 inches and the Greek 18.20. The biblical is mentioned on internet as being longer and there are so many different definitions that there is no one answer as to what it is.

So in answer to your question - Biblical.
Sorry that I am not your preferred answerer.

Thanks for your help, have been trying to find this all week, have posted it before but no answers.My head was stuffed full of numbers and getting nowhere. This is a local quiz and its a killer.I,ve got another one thats puzzling me as well. Which regularly walked charity route is 376 miles long. I've checked most of the obvious ones.Thanks again Giveup

I'd love to know the answer to this one. Bet Lie-in King knows it, but he's lying low. Thought the ode was very clever!

I missed this verse when it first appeared,
And can't answer without research, I'm afeared.
grasscarp's answer seems nice & tight,
Are we sure that it's not right?

[Lie-in King]

My first foray to Google found -

- 18.75 inches, I'll be bound!

I'll not denigrate grasscarp's efforts by insisting it's right -
By the looks of things, we could be here all night!

I'll agree it's biblical, no matter the source,
And hope you win your quiz, of course! :-)
