A centimeter is a metric measurement.  The UK uses the metric system.
Americans do not spell it 'centimetre', but I still wanted a way for
Brits to not have to whip out a calculator and convert inches/feet to
centimeters.

Also, I know there are a few bugs in Time-Killer #1.. I apologize. :(
It was half-rushed and there was no beta-testing done. (I only "hire"
playtesters for my large-scale games).  Time-Killer #2 is almost done
and will be out soon, and will have hopefully ZILCH bugs.
