Unit Price - Metric
Unit Price - US Units
Try both and give me your feedback, thanks.

Re: New Brain Game: Unit Price
Nice games!
I think the difficulty should be controlled a bit more.
I found that a good strategy was to guess at the harder questions so that I had more time to find easy ones, which doesn't seem right.
I'd suggest easing people into the game, starting with amounts like 100g that are easy to convert, and then stepping up the difficulty for every few correct answers they give, rather than leaving it to chance.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Basically I am lazy at attempting problems, this one was interesting. On any day I'd settle for the Metric.
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
