Ria Ali

If you order a McDonald's Quarter Pounder when you're in a place that uses the metric system, how much does your burger weigh?

A: 13.4 grams B: 31.4 grams
C: 113.4 grams D: 311.4 grams

Spoiler
Ria said she is not well-versed on the metric system and was leaning either A or B, but 50/50 left C and D.
Ria said she could have used her dad as the +1, but she did not select him.


Spoiler
The +1, Dan, BB ulysses1950, jokingly asked if Ria could switch him out for her dad.
Dan said he narrowed it to C or D before the 50/50, but that is what was left.
Dan said if he was going to risk it, he would go with C as his gut feeling.
Ria went with Dan's guess.


Spoiler
C: 113.4 grams


First break

Spoiler

10K: Didn't we just have this? At the time I didn't have conversion info. Now do, I think.

20K: +1, hope they know.
