Since you still seem to be clinging to a single definition of time versus duration, let's go ahead and look at what a standard dictionary has to say:

b : a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future
c : leisure <time for reading>


Funny, but seems like without me even going past the very first definition in a standard dictionary, time is equated with duration.

But again, since nobody exists outside of you, I understand you thinking that time only means one thing. I still hope you don't kill anyone at work.

QUIZ FOR THE THREAD #3

[ ] hour
[ ] man-hour

hour is a unit, man-hour is a rate

Fuck. Now we have to start the calculation over again as it was only a "handful" of guys. What's the average dude-time-rate for a handful in 43 minutes?

there is zero connection between the following mathematical concepts: rate, ratio, rational number
[   ] true
[X] false


there are many connections. a rational number is a ratio of integers, a rate is a ratio of units (and/or other rates). note that some rates are dynamic (e.g. currency exchange rates), some rates are constant (e.g. the ratio between the minutes and seconds of any duration), and some constant rates are irrational (e.g. the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle), etc, etc.
