And how do you know how tall it is? Did you get out your trust ruler
and
measure it?
Cue the old one about how to measure the height of a building with a
barometer, ISTR about 23 ways at the last count!
eg, apart from the obvious one, to time its descent from the top when
dropped under the acceleration of gravity, and finally to go to the
maintenance engineer and offer him the present of a lovely barometer if
he'd
let you
look at the architect's drawings!

I guess you landed on your head when you timed how long it took you to
