System of units in Mathcad

[ValeryOchkov]

There are SI, MKS, SGS, U.S., None and Custom System of units in Mathcad 15.

There are SI, SGS (not quite correct - without stat units) and U.S System of units in Mathcad Prime.

The base system of units in Europa, Canada, Russia etc is SI.

The base system of units in USA is U.S.

Do you know what country has the SGS as a base system of units?

I know

My 0.587 pint in Dresden

PS With beer (water+something) are authors this reference books:

My 0.88 pint in Beerburg (Plisen):

Superb Valery, stop it though you are making me thirsty.

It was the best beer I've ever drank (at one brewery in Pilsen - one IAPWS meeting)

Maybe one day

We have SI in the UK.

Only partially. I've yet to see a road sign giving distances in kms, even though we've gone over to litres for fuel instead of the Natural Unit, the gallon (or, as Валерий Федорович says an octet of pints). And, surprisingly, babies' birth weights are still often given in lbs and ozs. There are a lot of things that seem to have more intuitive or useful measures in Proper Units, eg using feet and inches for height seems to have a nice set of built-in benchmarks (feet) or even a "wee dram" to finish off the pints.

Good point Stuart. Maybe I got a little blinded by being in Engineering where the majority of applications are in metric.

I read on my tablet in one book of Agatha Christie: 'Hercule Poirot Height is 5 feet and 5 inches " and must do so in Mathcad Prime:

But what is this country with CGS units.

Now the prize doubled:

You need to modify your counterfeiting machine, Valery - your notes have got the same serial number!

Sorry

[ValeryOchkov]

The dead line (limit) of the prize

The time dead line is 23:59 1-st April 2014 of Moscow time!

I feel my answer will be correct

[ValeryOchkov · Accepted solution]

The country is Lilliput (or Blefuscu) - see please http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilliput_and_Blefuscu

Hmm. I don't remember the "blustrug" being a unit of distance in the CGS system!

A propos.

What is it ??? here:

blustrug := ??? cm

Well done Valery - slightly easier questions next time please

I suspect we'll get another such difficult question on April 1st 2015!

One country with tonne/km/yr unit system

Thanks to all!
