    also if you say '48 hours' it sounds like you are approximating. but 48:01 is precise enough for people to know that you are serious.

    The first man to calculate the height of mt everest calculated it to be 29,000 feet exactly. To make it sound as precise as it was, he said it was 29,002 feet.
