It took place on the 11th of March 2011 (too many 11s)
Let’s do the math I would be needing your help now
Suppose 2011 the whole year is the 11th hour on the clock
Which minute is the 11th of March at 5: 46 A .M. UTC?
31 DAYS OF JANUARY + 28 DAYS OF FEBRUARY = 59 + 10 DAYS INTO MARCH = 69th
day + 5 hours and 46 minutes from the 70th day which is the 11th
of March. So we ar going to to find the decimal next to 69.
1. One day have 24
hours and one hour 60 minutes: 24x60=1440 minutes per day.
2. 5x60 = 300min +
46=346 minutes So the earthquake occurred on the 346th minute of th
70th day of the year 2011.
From 1,2 we have to divide
346/1440 = 0,24027
Thus the earthquake happened
after 69,24027 days from the beginning of 2011 .
Now easily we can say 365days
- 60 min
69,24 x
X= 69,24027x60/365 = 11,381962
11 again
11 past 11 what a coincidence!!!
