Gosh..... at 2.2 pounds per Kg, let me think about this without getting my
calculator out..... Errrrr I'm up to 8.8 pounds.... plus the half a kg for
1.1 makes 9.9 pounds which is....... I give up. Near enough 10 pounds.

That..... is a big baby.

Sarah has to be some special kind of Woman.

Send her a cuddle from me.

It took 38h of labour, but my daughter is quite tough, ask her partner! :)
My big son is already 30 and I have hoped he would propriate before, but he
wants to finish his PhD work. He is also an EE, even studied at the same
institute as I did. I have another son of 20, he is very busy with his GFs
and certainly it will take him some time to desire to found a family, but
then... you never know. So maybe in 10yrs or so I can compete with Jim.

No calculator. 454 gm is a pound, so 4500 is about 1% less than 10lbs.

Use google calculator. Enter "4500g in lb" without the quotes in the
search box.

Google figures out what you want and does the conversion for you.

4,500 grams = 9.9208018 pound

Yeah, but if anyone here states that something has happened which
they're proud of, Thompson's never far behind with that he's got more
of it, or done it better, or sooner, or whatever it takes to try to
one-up everyone here.

The google calculator is quite adept at unit conversions. It
even understands furlongs per fortnight. :)

1 mph = 2 688 furlongs per fortnight

And attoparsecs.

1 attoParsec = 1.21483474 inches

It knows about electronics too.

google:

4Amp*2Ohm=

gives the result:

(4 ampere) * 2 Ohm = 8 Volts

It didn't surprise me that it knows that 2*4 is 8 but the conversion of
Amp*Ohm into Volts is more advanced.

Thanks Mike - never knew of that great tool!
My first few tests:

acre in square metres
1 acre = 4 046.85642 square meters

50 litres in gallons
50 litres = 13.2086026 US gallons

50 litres in UK gallons
50 litres = 10.9984579 Imperial gallons

speed of light in mph
the speed of light = 670 616 629 mph

Not surprisingly
speed of light in mps
defeated it, but...

speed of light in miles per sec
the speed of light = 186 282.397 miles per second

52!
52! = 8.06581752 × 10^67

But VAT is plainly not in its remit <g>.

-------

Incidentally, note how it formats output numbers without the usual
'thousands separator' comma, instead inserting a space.

Neat!

It looks like google understands basic physics:

(3 amperes) * 6 seconds = 18 Coulombs

(3 Watts) * 6 seconds = 18 Joules

(3 amperes) * 6 Volts = 18 Watts

(3 Farads) * 6 Volts = 18 Coulombs

At this rate, it will probably do our taxes in a year or so. But maybe
some things will elude even google. I tried asking it how to make
breakfast:

2 eggs * 212 degrees * 10 minutes

and all I got was a bunch of recipes:)

Google has some very slick programming!

You show google knows the difference between US and UK liquid measure. It
also knows about metric tons:

2 000 pound = 0.90718474 metric ton

Maybe it knows about troy and avoirdupois:

5 grams = 0.160753733 troy ounce

Good! But it breaks on avoirdupois:

5 grams in avoirdupois ounce

That doesn't work.

I use factorial to see how good the math libraries are in a calculator.

Google works up to

170 ! = 7.25741562 × 10^306

which is pretty good.

It even does

169.5 ! = 5.56209241 × 10^305

I didn't know you could take the factorial of a decimal number!

As far as the formatting, aren't the comma and period reversed in France
and Germany? I know my bar bill always looks strange:)
