I can visualize a half-cup of sugar, and five pounds of sugar. One is what I dump in a quart of coffee, and the other is how I buy it.

A kilogram is a pound plus 10%, then doubled. A meter is a yard plus 10%. A kilosecond is 15 minutes plus 10%.

Forgot my last line: and all of those depend on your local metric being equivalent to Earth sea-level normal.

Hey, you've got me beat: I can visualize sugar only in the new matric measure known as the "packet." It's the thing I play with on the Diner tabletop while I drink my coffee black. :-P
