Q: What is 47 in stones and lbs?

Do you mean 47 kilograms (kg) or 47 pounds (lb)? If you mean 47 kilograms: 47 kg = $47\times2.20462262=103.617263\text{ lb}$ Stones: $\lfloor103.617263/14\rfloor=7$ stones, remainder $103.617263-7\times14=5.617263\text{ lb}$ So 47 kg ≈ 7 st 5.6 lb (about 7 st 6 lb if rounded to the nearest pound). If you mean 47 pounds: $47\div14=3$ remainder $5$ So 47 lb = 3 st 5 lb. Which one did you mean, and do you want pounds rounded?

Q: What is 81kg in stone and lb?

The correct answer is: $81\text{ kg}=12\text{ st }10.6\text{ lb}\ (\approx178.57\text{ lb})$ Explanation Convert kilograms to pounds, then convert pounds to stones (1 stone = 14 lb). Steps: Convert to pounds: $$178.5744323658\text{ lb}=81\times2.2046226218\text{ lb}$$ Find whole stones: $$\text{stones}=\left\lfloor\frac{178.5744323658}{14}\right\rfloor=12$$ Pounds remaining: $$\text{pounds remaining}=178.5744323658-12\times14=10.5744323658\text{ lb}\approx10.6\text{ lb}$$ Therefore, 81 kg ≈ 12 st 10.6 lb (which is about 178.57 lb). (If you prefer ounces: 10.5744 lb ≈ 10 lb 9.2 oz, so 12 st 10 lb 9.2 oz.)

Q: What is 83 kg in pounds and stones?

The correct answer is: $83\text{ kg}\approx182.98\text{ lb}\approx13\text{ st }0.98\text{ lb}$ Explanation We convert kilograms to pounds using $1\text{ kg}=2.20462262185\text{ lb}$, then convert pounds to stones using $1\text{ st}=14\text{ lb}$. Steps: Convert kg → lb: $83\text{ kg}\times2.20462262185\frac{\text{lb}}{\text{kg}}=182.98367761355\text{ lb}\approx182.98\text{ lb}$ Convert lb → st + lb: Total stones $= \dfrac{182.98367761355\text{ lb}}{14\text{ lb/st}}=13.07026268668\text{ st}$ Integer stones $=13\text{ st}$, remainder in pounds $=182.98367761355-13\times14=0.98367761355\text{ lb}\approx0.98\text{ lb}$ Therefore, 83 kg ≈ 182.98 lb, which is 13 st 0.98 lb (you can round the pound remainder to 1 lb and say 13 st 1 lb).

Question

imagine you have a friend who just finished reading the book "Johnny Chan" by Mitch Raycroft and really enjoyed it. Would "The Wager" by David Grann be a good recommendation for him?

Accepted Answer

Yes — probably a good recommendation — but it depends on what your friend liked about "Johnny Chan."

Why it would be a good match

Both books (assuming Mitch Raycroft’s "Johnny Chan" is the narrative/biography of a high-stakes poker figure) share key features that many readers enjoy: gripping true stories, intense human drama, and close looks at people operating under extreme pressure and risk.  
David Grann’s "The Wager" is a tightly reported narrative nonfiction about a British shipwreck, survival, mutiny, and legal aftermath in the 18th century. It’s suspenseful, character-driven, and investigates human choices in life-or-death situations — similar emotional territory to poker stories about risk, bluffing, and moral choices under pressure.

Where they differ

Subject and setting: "Johnny Chan" centers on contemporary gambling/poker culture; "The Wager" is maritime history from the Age of Sail. If your friend loved the Vegas/poker world specifically, the switch to shipwreck history might feel jarring.  
Tone and method: Grann’s book is deeply archival and investigatory — a reconstruction from logs, letters, and court records — with a literary nonfiction style. If your friend prefers memoir-style first-person anecdotes, "The Wager" is more reporterly and reconstructive.  
Content: "The Wager" includes harrowing survival scenes and morally fraught episodes (mutiny, violence, desperate decisions). It’s more graphic and grim in places than a poker biography likely is.

Recommendations based on what they liked

If they enjoyed the true-story tension, moral ambiguity, and character study in "Johnny Chan": definitely recommend "The Wager." They’ll appreciate Grann’s narrative craft and the way he teases out reliability and motive.  
If they loved the poker culture, strategy, and modern setting: consider alternatives more closely tied to gambling/poker, such as "The Biggest Game in Town" by Al Alvarez or "Positively Fifth Street" by James McManus. Or for more contemporary memoir-style poker reads, look for player autobiographies or behind-the-scenes accounts.

Would you like a short blurb you can send your friend (one-sentence pitch), or a few alternate book suggestions tailored to whether they preferred the poker or the narrative-nonfiction aspects?
