...is that the prof has to assume that no one in the class knows anything.  So, after a 15 minute discussion of SI prefixes and what they mean numerically (nano, Mega, pica, etc.), the prof poses this question:

If a bottle of wine is labled as 75 centiliters, how many milliliters does it contain?

After 10 minutes of dimensional analysis (which I remember from THE FOURTH GRADE) I came up with this answer:  None.  I had to freaking drink it all just to make this lecture tolerable.
