    I like this because the amount of bits in a stack can vary depending on whose foot you use to measure, or the thickness of the card stock.

      IBM standard cards are one 48th of a barleycorn thick. I believe IBM measured from the 1932 Iowa Reference Barleycorn, now kept in the vault inside Mt Rushmore.
