The summary and article both misuse the word "grant". The quoted text is not from a patent grant but rather a patent licence (or "license" in the US). A patent grant is something issued by the government to an inventor or his employer, not something issued by a patentee to anyone else.

How is this arcane? The article plainly describes how a British-style parliamentary system works, as practiced in many countries throughout the world (including Canada), and with a special emphasis on the outcome of the most recent election. This is only confusing to foreigners and people unfamiliar with basic civics.

Sure, there are some people who live in the same city or town in which they were born, but those people are in the minority. Modern western culture is characterized by neolocal residence and a high degree of labour mobility. These poll options would have made more sense in a feudal society.

The system of units is irrelevant. No matter what system you use, the maximum value of 15,000 will work out to around 20 to 30 km.

You have to divide, not multiply. In metres: 200,000 m / 2 m = 100,000 In kilometres: 200 km / 2E-3 km = 100,000

I know we aren't supposed to complain about the options, but this is ridiculous. Why would they set up the ranges this way? Nearly everyone in the modern world lives more than 15,000 times their height away from their birthplace.
