I'm a Fish!
I wrote a brief guide in the hopes of easily explaining how do these calculations. I tried to do it in a graphical way were the main gist could be understood by looking at the figures I drew, but I also included some explanatory text to help clarify any doubts. Let me know your thoughts. See attachment.

This is where metric makes life much easier!
This and in so many other places. I was reading Doppler's Six Skills books (written in Imperial) and I was constantly writing imperial equivalents in the margins. We just make life sooo complicated for our own selves.

Any feedback on the guide? I think I could do a better job at layout and keep everything in a single page. Also, I thought that using cool fonts inside the tank illustrations would make everything look more unique or nicer, but I'm thinking it is sacrificing readability just for the sake of being cute. It seems that at certain zoom levels the division symbol could be easily confused with a plus sign. Maybe I should just change all division symbols to slashes. What do you think about the order in which the information is presented and dividing the task into "3 easy steps"?
