What is the size of your head?
Last time I was fitted for cap and gown, I had a size 7.5 head.

(BTW, how do they come up with hat sizes? I know for sure my head is bigger around than 7.5 inches)

Anyway, a friend college was a NINE. That dude had one giant melon.

I got a big noggin' :) On so called adjustable baseball caps, I have to put it on the last two pins/holes and stretch the hat. If you put it on just the last pin, the thing bends anda looks like crap :)

10. I do grow my hair :)
And I have a 686 (snowboard outerwear company) "flexfit" hat that fits pretty well. It's a size XL with an elastic band, fits me fine :)

3. According to Mr. Google
Take the circumference of your head at the widest point (or where you wear your hats) and divide by 3.14. (or Pi).

According to my attempts as I sit here with a ridgid ruler, I should wear a seven. I guess my memory is a bit faulty.

5. You are craniosophistic!!!
A word I heard last week on NPR, not quite in the lexicon yet. It means an expert on all things pertaining to the head.

9. 7 & 1/4 to 7 & 3/8ths
I have a helluva time getting just the right size ball cap. I can never seem to pick the right size when I'm in the store, and it winds up being too big or too little. Very frustrating.
