First you start with the following fact.

"The Pints a pound the world around"

There are 2 pints in a quart. A quart of beer therefore weights about 2 lbs. Depends on the spesific density of the beer and the temp in the room. Americans drink beer when it is cold and more dense.

Europeans being far less cultured, drink their beer at room temperature, ie less dense. Now Europeans drink metric beer. As we all know, the Germans drink beer from the time they are 8 days old and can drink more then us. Therefore they buy beer by the liter. Now being a practical people and realizing they only had 10 fingers, they invented the Metric system. Since a liter is 1000 ml and a ml of beer at room Temperature weights about 1.009 Grams a liter of beer weighs 1000.9 grams.

Add to this the fact that a fine malt beverage Called Colt 45 was so named because there are 0.45 Liters of beverage in a 16 OZ can, and the following conversion factors can be arrived at:



1 electron = 9.110 e-31KG

1 lb=0.4536 kg

1kg=2.205 lbs

so 180 kg= 396.82 lbs



IF your Hobie tiger was make up of just electrons, there would be a buttload of them.
