What three countries have not adopted the metric system?

Uhhhhh

Da US?
Texas?
The place with penguins?

For sure, the US has not yet invented the metric system.

I do not believe there are penguins in the other two countries I came across, except possibly in the zoo.

USA
Burma
Liberia

I'd have really thought Texas was one of them...

Those are the three I came across.

So Arneb gets to ask the next metric system question.

A US dram, or a British imperial dram?

0.003697?

In our house a dram is about "that much" but we are effete southerners, I'm sure in Lianachanshire it is at least twice that.

I think that you are using US rather than British units (which is acceptable, I would think, but I guess Arneb has to judge), but I think maybe you failed to notice the "c" in front of the "L".

No, I noticed it. But perhaps I just did it wrong.

I'll give it to Heid, simply for stating that a dram can mean different things to different people at different times in different moods. Mactep was too exact for this kind ofquestion; Lance was off by several orders of magnitude, but got the numbers right, I'd have accepted anything between 2 and 4.
