The minute equals 60 seconds exactly. It is the base unit for short daily-life durations — meetings, cooking times, exercise intervals. The Babylonian sexagesimal system gave us the 60-second minute (and 60-minute hour).

Real-world: Standard meeting: 30 or 60 min. Pasta: 8–12 min. UK to Paris on Eurostar: 134 min.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 century = 100 years = 36,525 days.
  • Ordinal numbering: 21st century = 2001–2100 (strict), 2000–2099 (popular).
  • Rarely useful in engineering — years or decades are more practical.

Avoid these

  • Writing 20th century when meaning 1900s — they overlap but differ in first/last year.
  • Treating century exactly as 100 × 365 days — ignores leap years.
  • Mixing calendar systems (Gregorian vs. Julian) across centuries — matters pre-1582.
