0unce?????
This is one fluid ounce and an OUNCE is a member of the cat family.
Isn't a fliud ounce about 568/20 or a little under 29ml or 0.029 litres?
fluid ounce the volume of an avoirdupois ounce of distilled water at 62 degrees Fahrenheit, 0.0284 litre (1/20 pint); 0.0295 litre (1/16 US pint).

This is from Chambers and agrees with you, MatydaLover - the answer that is being looked for must still be ounce though, I would think.
Yes, looks like it's a tenth of an l out in the clue. Thanks.
I am surprised that Chambers may have blundered on this. When I was trying to verify using a calculator I was NOT getting 0.1284 of a litre. HOWEVER in my ancient 1988 edition of Chambers, the wording is exactly as given by Waugh2 but the number is given in error as 0.1284.

I can only assume that the setter has used the 1988 Edition along with its typo!
please pardon my intrusion in this thread - crofter there's a message for you on my last thread. ;0)
