Default Metric time

For the hell of it I worked out metric time. Tell me if my calcs are wrong anywhere.

100 days a year
10 hours a day
100 mins an hour
100 seconds a min
= 10,000,000 "seconds" a year

Boring non metric time

365.25 days a year
24 hours a day
60 mins an hour
60 secs a min
= 31,557,600 seconds

So a new tomtimeŠ second will have to equal 31,577,600/10,000,000 = 3.15576 boring old non metric seconds.

Start updating your clocks and watches guys. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
