Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc.

Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes.

Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don’t have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?

    Thanks for doing the math.

    36 different blocks of time, 1-12 and A to Z, right?

    Not 1-12, but 0-9.

    Edit: now that I’ve spelled it out, O/0 and 1/I/L (for uppercase/lowercase letters) may be problematic.

      Duh, yeah of course, oops! :-)
