Measures and counted facts

Gist. Some numbers a problem never says because everyone knows them: an hour has 60 minutes, a metre 100 centimetres, a quarter is 25 cents, a triangle has 3 sides, a cube 6 faces. A word problem that names the word and asks in the unit leans on them: «2 hours … how many minutes» is 2 × 60.

global::measure(word) gives (how many, of what) for each. The small one adds such a fact to the told quantities only when the text names both the word and the unit (or the unit's plural).
