“How many minutes in a second?”
Wwith the stipulation being that the answer is “a four letter word in everyday use that is not ‘zero’ or ‘nada’ or ‘none'” (none of which would really be correct anyway).
Once
As you only need to be seconded once to be put in the minutes of the meeting.
Possible answer could be:
Part, term, quad or span
Talking about longitude:
—
1 minute = 1 nautical mile ~ 1852 meters
—
Earth spins at 465.1 m/s
So it takes 4 second to move 1 minute longitude.
So Earth spins 1/4 minutes per second(one fourth or a quarter).
Thesaurus says that the possible synonyms for One fourth(or quarter) are:
part, term, quad, span
