“Farage knows the conversion factor 2.20462 extremely well.”

The claim concerns Farage's personal, internal knowledge — specifically that the conversion factor 2.20462 is "deeply embedded in his brain." This is a self-reported state of mind that cannot be independently verified or contradicted by public evidence. What can be checked publicly: 1. **The conversion factor is correct.** The value 2.20462 (more precisely 2.2046226218…) is the standard conversion from kilograms to pounds, established by the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement, which defined the avoirdupois pound as exactly 0.45359237 kg. Farage's use of this number is factually accurate. 2. **Farage's background makes the claim plausible.** Farage was indeed a commodity broker before entering politics, and in that profession he would have routinely dealt with commodities priced in both imperial and metric units (e.g., copper in US cents per pound and in deutschmarks/tonnes). This provides circumstantial support for the claim. However, the core assertion — that Farage *knows* this number "extremely well" or that it is "deeply embedded" in his memory — is a claim about a private mental state. No public evidence can confirm or refute how well any individual has memorized a particular number. The best we can say is that the number is correct and his professional background makes the claim credible, but verification of the personal knowledge claim itself is not possible from public sources.
