No, I didn´t hear them call me that...

: So that translates to about fifteen to seventeen feet?

1dm is 4inches or 1inch is 2,5cm.
1m is 3+foots (3meter is 10foot) or 1foot is 30cm.
23-25kilos would be 46-50lbs.

You can also make cheekplates from them. And some other small things. Keyrings for example.

This is not a big public event, it´s most for the staff and students.
