I agree with happy. # is a measurment relating to pound.
I looked into wikipedia.com but really couldn't find more to help you with.
look in the back of the book, sometimes they have index that will explain the symbols they use.

This is really tough. In the US it is a pound sign, but I can't imagine your recipe calling for 101 pounds of water. A can of something can be a size 101. That would be a pound. What are you making? If you don't get an exact answer you may have to include your recipe. Good luck!!!

Normally # means pound, which is 16 ounces. I can't imagine what you're making that would call for 101 pounds of water! If you meant 10# and it was something like potatoes, then that would make a lot, but okay for a big group! A typical gallon of water weighs 8 pounds if that helps.
Good Luck. Give us more info and we might be able to help.

1 pint of water weighs approximately 1 pound, so a gallon weights 8 pounds.
Which still works out to about 12 gallons. Unless you're making a huge batch of soup, I really don't know what this means.
If you could paste in the entire recipe, I think we might have a better idea of how to help you.

Ordinarily # means pound but I wouldn't think so in this instance. It might be easier for us to help you if you included the recipe in full.

It usually means pounds, but that is a lot of water, so I'm not sure in your instance.

i am guessing it is a typo. It should mean pounds but that doesn't make sense.
