A creature moves at a speed of 5.00 furlongs per fortnight (not a very common unit of speed). Given that 1 furlong = 220 years and 1 fortnight = 14 days, determine the speed of the creature in meters per second. What kind of creature do you think it might be?

  1. "1 furlong = 220 years" ??

    1 furlong = 201 meters

    5 fur/fort = 201 m / 14 days x 1day/24hr x 1hr/3600sec = 0.00083 m/s
