Where on the RPTC should I position my fingers for max test?

Many HB protocols ask you to use percentages of your max weight dead hang.  Some suggest testing on a 20mm edge.  As the RPTC edges slope from larger to smaller from left to right, where do you place your hands to test for max weight dead hangs?  The second number on the top row seems to be about 20mm as does one digit in on the second row.  If you use the RPTC hang board, where do you line up your fingers for a max weight dead hang test?

Thanks for the feedback!

I do it on the SVDER on the inside. As I recall measuring that was about 20mm... keeping in mind that the depths are variable so your pinky might only be on 15mm. That might not be the same as a straight 17mm edge. That really only matters if you're trying to compare yourself to others. For determining your working weights just use the edge you are planning to train on.
