Answer to question 62 is twelve feet. Four yards equal 12 feet; a standard snooker table is 12 feet long and mark twain is a boating term for depth measurement, each mark being 6 feet. To mark twain is two maks being 12 feet. It is also where Mark Twain got his name from because that was the minimum depth for a paddle steamer.
