Okay, so, like, if it's, let's say, on the radio, it says, "Today, it'll be cloudy and five degrees," so how do you do it? You go... you double it—five five is ten, you add thirty—thirty and ten is forty. It's the old forty degrees. So when you say five degrees, forty. And so, like, a six-pack of beers in metric, that would be, um, six six's twelve, and thirty is for-uh, forty-two beers. Forty-two metric beers. And back bacon, if, like, normally you eat a pound, right, so in metric you double it is two, and thirty is thirty-two kilos of back bacon. And then if the speed limit is, like, fifty miles an hour, eh, then what do you do, you double it, a hundred, and add thirty, that's a hundred and thirty miles an hour—no, a hundred and thirty kilometers an hour.
