Nothing is straightforward

IAL6: In the second circular on the homepage, instructions for posters say:

"Maximal dimensions of usable space on the poster boards will be 7’9’ x 3’9” (ca. 230 x 110 cm), with the long dimension being the width."

1. When I convert inches to centimeters: the result is 200.66 cm (7.9 inches) x 99.06 cm (3.9 inches). Which measurement is correct?

2. This would mean that the board is 2 metres wide and one metre high. Is this correct? I need to know for sure, because it seems like a very unusual size for a poster board.

Låter lite udda, men det är väl max.ytan och sedan får man hålla sig inom ramarna. En två meter hög poster låter lite jobbig att läsa.

OK: postern blir 2.3 meter bred (det går 12 inches /foot, glömde det)...
