I started school in 1972, around the time NZ made the switch to metrics, and c was still given in imperial values, as 186,282 miles per second. Multiplying that by 60 gives 11,176,920, if that helps. The imperial value has a nice rhythm to it that is lacking in the prosaic metric approximation of 300,000 kilometres per second (closer to 299,727, akchully)
