The rod was defined as 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 yards or 16 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet, and the mile was eight furlongs, so the definition of the furlong became 40 rods and that of the mile became 5,280 feet (eight furlongs/mile times 40 rods/furlong times 16 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet/rod).
Volume was measured in ngogn (equal to 1000 cubic potrzebies), mass in blintz (equal to the mass of 1 ngogn of halva, which is "a form of pie [with] a specific gravity of 3.1416 and a specific heat of .31416"), and time in seven named units (decimal powers of the average earth rotation, equal to 1 "clarke").

The speed of light is 1.8026 × 10 12 furlongs per fortnight (1.8026 terafurlongs per fortnight). By mass–energy equivalence, 1 firkin is equal to 3.249 366 76 × 10 24 firkin· furlong 2 / fortnight 2 (≈ 3.478 × 10 15 BTU, or 3.669 × 10 18 joules).
The amount of time light takes to travel one Planck length. quectosecond: 10 −30 s: One nonillionth of a second. rontosecond: 10 −27 s: One octillionth of a second. yoctosecond: 10 −24 s: One septillionth of a second. jiffy (physics) 3 × 10 −24 s: The amount of time light takes to travel one fermi (about the size of a nucleon) in a ...
The race was run for the first time in 2008 during the second day of Breeders' Cup racing at that year's host track, Santa Anita Park. The 2008 race was held at a distance of 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 furlongs and was contested on Santa Anita's signature El Camino Real "downhill" turf course.
In Picking Winners, Beyer claimed a breakthrough when a study of claiming races at Calder Race Course showed Beyer that 1:13 for six furlongs was equally fast to 1:26.1 at seven; from there, Kovitz's math was used to generate perfectly accurate parallel-time and beaten-lengths charts, which Beyer then used to make par times for classes, against ...
