Perhaps it came off that way but I really meant those Germans are BIG people. Solid, massive, big boned. I am sure they averaged out a typical family of four and came up with 400 lbs per person.

I could be wrong. Actually, I know 400 pounds is approximately 181.8 Kilos or $584 American. So they average 180 kilos apiece. Or 0.311 kilos/dollar. The concept of net weight remains the same.

Sorry for the miscommunication.
