It's a problem...Mr Sails posed some distance/time/rate problems to his

How can you teach science and not use SI units? A real fine group of
budding scientists Mr. Sails has there!

As an excercise in frustration everyone should be forced to do a few
basic physics problems using pounds, slugs, poundals, pound-feet. ..etc.
