A unit called the beard-second is the length the average beard grows in 1 second. A beard-second is defined as 10 nanometers (10 nm). The volume of the earth is approximately 259,875,159,532 cubic miles. What is this volume expressed in cubic beard-seconds? Some possibly useful conversions: 5280 feet = 1 mile, 1 quart = 0.946 liter, 2.54 cm 1 inch, 1 week = 7 days, 12 inches =1 foot. The prefix nano means 10-9.
