Since you are familiar with imperial to metric conversion factors, I will give you another, as a peace offering.
10 millimetres per minute equals one furlong per fortnight.
It is quite accurate (0.3%) but I dont tend to use it a lot. For some unknown reason I have never forgotten it.
Cheers
Steve

Look, just because we occupy a big part of the upper hemisphere doesn't mean that we are stupid. We know the metric system, too, and we drive on the correct side of the road.
Now you've gone and hurt our collective feelings. Sniffle/whine.
