• 1,300 seconds is equal to 21 minutes, 40 seconds.
• To count from 1 to 1,300 would take you about twenty-one minutes.
  This is a very rough estimate, based on a speaking rate of half a second every third order of magnitude. If you speak quickly, you could probably say any randomly-chosen number between one and a thousand in around half a second. Very big numbers obviously take longer to say, so we add half a second for every extra x1000. (We do not count involuntary pauses, bathroom breaks or the necessity of sleep in our calculation!)
• A cube with a volume of 1300 cubic inches would be around 0.9 feet tall.
