WolframAlpha is still bad at natural language.
I recently tried to get it to convert mpg to l/100km. I spent close to 10 minutes until I stumbled into a combination that gave the answer among a sea of useless conversions.
- areyousure 4y agoI don't doubt your experience, having been frustrated many times myself, but in case anyone is curious, my first and most obvious guess worked: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=convert+5+mpg+to+L%2Fkm https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=convert+5+mpg+to+L%2Fkm
- sashank_1509 4y agoIt’s per 100km. I tried a few prompts, wolfram didn’t get it right!
- areyousure 4y agoSorry! Totally missed that! Indeed it seems more difficult.
- illiarian 4y agoIn the end this sorta works: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=convert+%285+mpg%29+to+%28L%2F%28100+km%29%29 https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=convert+%285+mpg%29+to+... Because way down in the "Corresponding quantities" it shows "0.47 L/km" and "47 L/100 km" :)
