The Punti Hat Sizing System
Here's a bit of hat trivia that may come in handy if you are the million dollar question creator for a TV game show:

Up until approximately the middle of the 20th Century some hat companies in Italy and England used a hat size scale known as PUNTI. Here is how is worked: The size number is determined by dividing the head circumference in inches by pi + 1 (or 4.145). It is thought that originally the system was designed to indicate the crown height of skull-type hats, and simply evolved into this other system. A PUNTI 5½ is equivalent to a US 7¼ or European 58 cm. Judging by hat size tags alone, Borsalino used the system well into the 20th Century. Wilson and Stafford in the UK also used the PUNTI system.

Thanks to Kent for this bit of hat history.
