I'm guessing it should read 99ft 7in. That would put it at just over 3m, which still seems pretty small to me.

Yep.

Nope.
Easy mental math and much closer.
Seems easier to remember the one number than 'divide by 3 for yards then subtract 10% for meters', assuming you have no use for yards. (I use yards colloquially, but never as a measurement.)
