I guess everyone knows I can't type worth a flip. :-)

100 KPM (Kilometers per minute) would be about 6,000 KPH (Kilometers per
hour), about Mach 6, or 3 times the speed of the Concorde.

That context was with regard to driving in Canada and should have been
100 KPM, not 100 knots. :-(
Last time I was in Canada, we still were stuck with mostly 55mph limits
in USA while Canada seemed to have a standard of 100kpm so I equate the
two.
My point was that I don't bother to convert. I just use the measurement
as presented.

Assuming you meant Kilometers/Hour (based upon the context), it's
actually 62.5 MPH.
Well, if the posted limit is 55 mph, 62.5 mph seems about the right
speed to go. 😉
But duck-duck-go tells me 100 knots is 115.078 mph, or 185.2001 km/h.
