    it might be because there's 14lb in a stone...

    when you do the calculation 190/14 to get your 13.6, that means 0.6 of a stone, not 6lbs...

    0.6 of a stone is 8.4lb. (14/10)*6

    So 13.9 is the correct weight.

    sorry if that sounds confusing! you just need to remember that 13.5 stone is not 13st5, its 13st7!

    hope that helps! :)
