[scorpiojo]

10 calorie

[scorpiojo]

12 erg?

[Gizmonster]

8. Watt
12. Joule

[Gizmonster]

6. 1,136 litres = 250 gallons, but I've no idea what this is called :(

and ....

9. 0.36 seconds is 1/10,000 of an hour, but I've no idea what this is called as well :(

Hi Hazool - if you plug into the google URL line thing, something like
12 li in gall - it gives it to you !` The answer I mean. Cool huh ?

and so I did that for 1136 li in cu ft and got
40 cu. ft. / 300 gal.
1.2 / 1136 li

wh kinda says 1136 li is 40 cu ft or 300 galls
others can tell you if 300 galls goes round as one something. ( barrel perhaps)

8 I am confused - elec power is watts. 9.36 s seems to be hanging around by itself.

10 I think is Cal but is mis-defined. - type in definition of calorie in food into the google bar for the correct one

12 an erg is a unit of work in a system we never use now CGS.
joule is another

[Peter Pedant]

sorry = 250 galls
I checked
I dunno why I got 300 first time round

Is this meant to be cryptic, or purely factual / general knowledge?

If cryptic-ish ... Could 9. 360 seconds be quarter day? 360 seconds = 6 hours

[factor-fiction]

360 seconds is only 6 minutes

[2sp_]

360 seconds is 6 minutes. No idea what measurement is 6 minutes long though.

Jedward's attention span?

[kettledrum]

6. 1.136 litres = 2 pints = 1 quart

[kettledrum]

Oh dear! Thanks for correcting my woeful mistake.

[factor-fiction]

360 seconds = 0.1° if it refers to angles or 0.1 hour if time. Are you sure it's not 3600 seconds?

[Gizmonster]

Oops - I read 9. 360 seconds as 9 .36 seconds :(

[THECORBYLOON]

The closet measure to 250 gallons is a tun which is 252 gallons.

[Gizmonster]

9. 360 seconds = 6 minutes = 1 decihour (very rarely used nowadays).
