Easy to convert? Sure. Little more than a yard. Little more than a quart. Little more than two pounds.

Back in my teaching days (industry not academics) I had a game that I would present my students. It went like 12 i in a f - which stands for 12 inches in a foot.
With the metric system it's kind of boring. Everything is 10 _ in a _.
Actually there are 10000 decigrams in a kilogram. And about the time: There have been efforts to implement decimal time with 10 hours a day, 100 minutes an hour and 100 seconds a minute.
Unfortunately this has never been very popular...
Yes, that should have said "gram" not "kilogram". I'll fix that at some point.
Monkeyhead:
I want a watch that's like that.
crazy week ... I should get around to fixing that and uploading... soon.
