Sigh. When I was young I wanted to be a jet jockey. Now that I'm wise
I realize that I often screw things up the first time around. I do well
with what I do now because I can always double-check my work.

And yes, 60 cycles per second doesn't equal 3600 cycles per second, but
it does equal 3600 cycles per minute.
