  1. 3:19 we British use imperial as well. Well if you want to more precise we actually use a hybrid. To be More precise we are imperial / metric selective.

  2. A metric hour is the equivalent of 2 hours 24 minutes. Metric minute is 1 minute 26.4 seconds. Metric second is 0.864 seconds.

  3. I would have 10 months of 36.5 days in a year. Sometimes the half day is at the start of the month sometimes it is at the end. In a leap year there is an intercalculary day between the two years.

  4. I would have had the weekend as 3 Days. octday novday decday.

  5. It is a little bit out since a metre is actually 1/1001965.75 of the distance from the equator to the poles

  7. 13:45 Russia converted in 1918. It is why there are 2 dates given for Rasputin's death. One is Gregorian and one is Julian. Saudi Arabian was the last country to convert in 2016.

  8. 1:45 it was 1/10000000. It was a little bit out though.

  9. I am British. I use the imperial system. Well actually I use imperial or metric depending on what is being measured. To be honest when someone gives their height and weight in metric it means nothing to me.

  10. 8:23 100 minutes in an hour. There is not enough room on the watch for that. Al Murray.

  11. There is a system called gradians. One gradian is 1/100 of a right angle. There are 400 gradians in a circle. That could work. The time zones would be in ¼ metric Hours (25 metric minutes). It would change every 10 gradians.

  12. 12:13 it is actually 365.2421891 days

  13. ​​​​​ @dwaynebeagley5345 actually 1 hour would be the equivalent of 41.66⅔ metric minutes. 10÷24. 1 minute is the equivalent of 69 4/9 metric seconds. 1 second is the equivalent of 1 17/108 metric seconds. 9 to 5 would be the equivalent of 3.75 to 7.08.33⅓. 10÷24×9. 10÷24×17. 40 metric minutes is the equivalent of 57.6 minutes. 20 decimal minutes is the equivalent of 28.8 minutes. 3.4 to 7.2 would be the equivalent of 08:09:36 to 17:16:48 (05:16:48 PM)

  14. 11:28 it is also the same reason why there are 360 degrees in a circle rather than 100. Everyone was on the same page with that one. Although there is a system for that called gradians. There are 400 gradians in a circle. They would have to use the gradians system to create time zones if metric time was introduced. There is also the turn system. There are 100 centiturns in a circle. 1000 millieturns in a circle.

  15.  @nikolatasev4948  the 1/10000000 was a bit out though since it is actually 4/40007863 (1/10001965.75)
