“Decikilogram”? Yowch! Round here we use SI prefixes and call that a “hectogram”. (Well, we don't use it very often at all, but that's another matter.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:10, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 
==Change to task description==
I was considering making the following change to the task description as I had seen one slight modification that i wanted to make, but then got carried away:
:''"A tourist wants to make a good trip at the weekend with his friends. They will go to the mountains to see the wonders of nature, so he needs to pack well for the trip. He has a good knapsack for carrying the things, but he knows that he can carry a maximum of only 4kg in it and it will have to last the whole day. He creates a list of what he wants to bring for the trip but the total weight of all items is too much. He then decides to add columns to his initial list detailing their weights and a numerical "value" representing how important the item is for the tour."''
The changes are a little more than I had started to write, and would rather the original author take what he likes, if anything, for the task description. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 17:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
