Is that a Canadian se'nnight or an SI se'nnight?
Any Southern Intellectual worth a pittance knows that SI refers to Le Système International (SI) the World stardard of measurements.
"What is the SI unit of time?" you might ask.
The SI definition of a second is based on the radiation from the caesium-133 atom. It is defined as "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom."
According to my calculations we players have almost exactly 832,482,192,337,228 oscillations to get our definitions in.
(Note to Hogmaster: I think you put the apostrophe in "sen'night" in the wrong place. It looks stupid where it is.)
