I did it similar to that but I went backwards. I started with number of weeks and went down to seconds remaining. Would the result still be the same if the order of the code went the other way (i.e.. from minutes to weeks instead of the way I did it from weeks to seconds)? > [1] For the purposes of this exercise, I'm pretending that this is > Unix time and has no leap seconds.

But for this, we're working in a system that has seconds > going from 00 to 59 I honestly do not know what leap seconds are but I’ll take your word for it. lol Thanks again!!!
