What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 1 to 100.
A careful solution takes 3 written steps on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 100% of the problems: the answer was left in centimeters.
Answers are a decimal.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 18 different ones, 8% — so a sheet of 20 will come back to a problem you have seen — there are only so many sensible ones of this kind.
