Sounds interesting. One question from a dumb American - I forgot how to
convert "stone" to "pounds" or "kilograms," either of which I can work with

That will get you pounds Celsius. I think he's after pounds Fahrenheit.

How many Kilometres in a Fahrenheit?

Multiply kg by 2.2 to convert to pounds.


Then divide the pounds by about 1 1/2 to get the value in Euros.

(yes, I am kidding)

Which weighs more? A pound of Gold or a pound of feathers.
Then divide the pounds by about 1 1/2 to get the value in Euros.

A pound of feathers.

A pound of gold is a troy pound, or 373.24 grams. A pound of
feathers is an avoirdupois pound, or 453.59 grams.
