Could you, on the spot without research give the guy the answer and win a million dollars? No Internet or calculators.

Absolutely. While I can't accurately do conversions in my head, I'm betting the asshole with the million dollars can't either. That money is mine

How precise do we have to be here? I’m not even sure how much I weigh right now.

If it was in pounds I would be able to say yes. Despite living in Canada I never weigh things in metric.

No need to convert when you're using les Système international 🇫🇷✌️☺️ SI is the abbreviation for the international system of units. Standardisation helps avoid a lot of issues for engineers.

I would fail for sure.
I might get close if the question was whats your weight/height in pounds/inches.

I'd get the million dollars as long as I can just do it to one or two decimals.
Upon winning, I would offer the person who lost all their money a pint of beer if they could tell me what -40 in Celcius is in Fahrenheit.

Nope, and not exactly proud of it either. I totally support the US switching to the metric system.

It says my height in cm on my driver's license so I know that offhand. Kg to pounds I can generally do in my head but pounds to kilos I would need paper for.

Yeah converting kilos to pounds is easy to do in your head. It's the other direction that's tricker.
