My science teacher once taught us that we could use our radius bone's length to determine our height. It's a very simple formula, yet I cannot seen to remember it. Your radius bone is the bone that is the outer bone of the two bones in your front part of arm.
If you have any idea, please tell me. The best answer will earn you 10 points!!

How to use *my* radius bone to measure someone else's height:
My radius bone is 12 inches long. Measure the height of the subject in "myradiusbones" and multiply by 12. That's the height in inches.
