Google currency conversion
I use this all the time: enter ‘(amount) (currency) in (currency)‘ as your search query. For example, 100 euros in dollars or 80 GBP in EUR. You can also do the same for length units e.g. 10 yards in meters. See for yourself →
You can do lots and lots of more stuff with it:
- calculate how much your car evaporates per 100 km
- calculate the square root of X
- calculate how long it would take you to download 30 GB at 192kbps
- calculate how much kBps that 192 kbps is
- calculate how much 1 furlong per minute is
- know what 1 furlong is
- calculate how many horns a unicorn has
- calculate how many minutes a day holds (or a year, a decade, a century, etc.)
- convert decimal to binary
- convert fahrenheit to celcius
- know how many kilos the earth weighs
- get the speed of light in kms per hour
- …. (see Google’s info page for more info)
And here’s a geeky one: the answer to life, the universe, and everything :-P
