I just took a practice test today and I needed to know how to use the convert function. The data I found was in Hours, minutes, and seconds, and I needed everything to be in seconds only.

The convert function would be useful, but you can also just multiply stuff by 24 and 60. Are you allowed to use Google Calculator during the event?

Without health care, the astronauts might not be there to travel space...
