real ez
Fairly archaic expression, at least in the U.S., might make it a bit harder for us Americans.
hmmm maybe I would have gotten it if weight units were used instead of mass units.
err.. Kg = Kilogram , which IS a unit of Weight
I caught the word expectation but didn't get the complete answer. Sorry to say, I am not familiar with the saying. Good job.
I was trying to figure out different weight equivalents.
You got me.
You got me.
Mark, yes I know what you are saying and whilst MrIx has clarified and mentioned kg still is a unit in the weight calculation I do realise that technically weight is mass x acceleration due to gravity. However I wrote it this way using kg as most people tend to use kg, or whatever unit is used in their country, to describe their weight so I figured most would get it using kg as opposed to newtons ;) . Cheers, DD. Thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting.

for some reason i decided that the teaser was great expectations (mainly 'coz i've been talking about the book a lot) and so i transposed > signs for = signs.
obviously i was wrong - great job
