That is 200,000 seconds in a day (100 sec/min* 100 min/hr * 20hr). In normal time, there are 86,400 seconds in a day (60*60*24). How do you have a day that is 2.3 times as long? Is your second the same as our second? I'm totally lost.

[B]And then there is the matter of dealing with our Australian metric time verses the US time. The sooner the world moves to metric time the better. 100 seconds in a minute, 100 mins in an hour, and 10 hours in a half-day. Time conversion without an international watch/clock can get very confusing .
