    Add in the fact that paper manufacturers round the numbers down, that “perfect” half size goes out the window immediately on the first division. And gets worse as the paper size gets smaller.

      Paper arbitrage. The globalists are stealing 51mm2 from you, wake up sheeple!

      Even A0 isn’t usually actually a square meter - 1189mm x 841mm = 999949mm2
      Though, the other common rounding (1190mm) results in an area of 1000790mm2, so we’re coming out ahead on that one.
