feeler guage ?

I know the valves are set using a .05mm feeler gauge. I guess I should have paid more attention in math class. But, if .10 is one tenth of a mm isn't .05 half that, or 1/2 of .10? THats pretty thin (like thinner than foil thin). I have a feeler that has .50, .45, .40, .35, .30 and .25mm blades. I went to the auto parts store and they did not have any feelers that go down to .05. Is .05mm correct?

Go to any auto parts store and they have combo gauges, mm on one side and Standard on the other, they fan out...
