I was going to say Warsaw Concerto for 10 till I realised it was the wrong no of letters!

[Lorcan]

Thanks all. I've marked patricia top as I was a million miles from 1 and 3. Could someone please explain no. 8?

8.When the Metric system was introduced in Norway and Sweden in 1889 (the actual law having been passed in 1875), the mile was redefined to be exactly 10 km.
