  • Since we Americans are, by and large, not that familiar with the metric system, let me do the conversion for my fellow dullards. What Amanda is telling us here is that she was 110 lb., then lost 4 kg (euro-talk to kilograms) during a rubber of spirited Australian bridge-tennis. This equates to about 3.7 ounces, or slightly less than one-quarter of a pound. She finished her match, therefore, weighing 109.73 pounds, give or take. Amazing! I do hope the paramedics were within reach. Come on Jim,some people may take you seriously.A Kilogram is about 2.2 lb.so 4 Kg is 8.8 lb.
