Bicycle wheels with quick release axles have 9.525mm diameter, rounded up to 10mm. This is because the sizing is not actually metric, but 3/8 inch so imperial.
This is why it's most commonly called 9mm qr (quick release) /facepalm

XcQ, link stays blue
in Earthbound, there's an exploit where you can have technically infinite PP if you put a Magic Truffle to the last slot of your inventory and buy a good amount of Ketchup Packets.
When you use the Magic Truffle in a battle, only just a Ketchup Packet will be consumed but not the truffle - you still gain 90 PP.
