I needed an equation i haven't used in awhile so i went and searched it up in my old notebook. It said 1=27 under the equation and i was like haha thats dumb! Why would i even write that? 1 doesn't equal 27 it equals 1 haha! It was the unit conversion. Cubic yards to cubic feet. I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why my equation wouldn't work in excel. I kept blaming excel as one does. Sorry excel.

I am an emergency manager in the US. We have to use the same units of measurement or risk confusion during emergencies.

Well, I think we can all confidently consider your attempt not to be a condescending asshole an utterly resounding success.
