March 2023 Puzzle: Unusual Measures

This month's crossword features units of measure that you don't hear about every day. Have you ever needed to measure something but don't have the right tool? See if you can borrow it from our Library of Things collection! It's got:

  • a colorimeter to measure the color output of your monitor so you can calibrate it for accuracy—great for photographers!
  • a Kill-a-Watt meter to measure how much electricity a device uses
  • a laser distance measurer—very handy for measuring long distances or for quickly getting the area of a room
  • a sun calculator for finding out how much sunshine a location gets
  • a thermal leak detector for measuring the temperature of a spot you suspect may be under-insulated or drafty

Don't see the tool you need? Drop us a line to see if we can get it!

Happy puzzle solving!
