I can't visualise 1800 heartbeats,

On reading this in the Recent Comments sidebar, I thought “1 heartbeat = 1 second, 1800 seconds = half an hour” in less time than it takes me to tell left from right.

How long does it take you to tell left from right?

Usually around one second.

You must be so smart. My stupid brain can handle ready-made 30min faster and more reliably than the conversion.
