    Default Broken Scale

    There was a nice bathroom scale in our ship's cabin on our
    Recent cruise. Since the sign in front of the fitness centre
    Claimed that the average cruiser gained 7 to 10 kilos
    During a cruise, I figured the scale was a way to help the
    Cruiser avoid the weight gain.

    I stepped on the scale.

    It was 10 kilos too low.

    I asked my wife to try it. She said that it was registering
    About 10 kilos too low.

    The thing was broken.

    The ship had excellent service and I was super impressed
    With the cabin steward. I didn't mention it to him, but he
    Must have known that our scale was out of whack and not
    Measuring correctly. When I stepped on the scale on the last
    Day of the cruise my weight was reading perfectly.

    Excellent cruise service!

    Obviously the Steward knew you were standing on the scales on the fall of the ship riding the waves and stepping off before it rose again

    Everyone knows if you weigh yourself in water you get your specific gravity which is different from your mass. That explains it (I think).
