Unit Duel

Convert between kilometres and metres, hours and minutes, feet and inches and more. Quick unit questions with a daily set to race against.

How to play

  1. Each question gives a value in one unit and asks for the same amount in another, such as 3 km = ? m.
  2. Tap the correct number. The clock starts on your first tap.
  3. A wrong pick is greyed out and counted as a mistake.
  4. Answer every question to finish. Your time and mistakes are shown at the end.

Tips and strategy

  • Going from a big unit to a small one gives a bigger number, so multiply. Small to big gives a smaller number, so divide.
  • Metric units move by factors of 10, 100 and 1000, so just shift the decimal point.
  • Know the exact imperial factors: 3 feet in a yard, 12 inches in a foot, 16 ounces in a pound, 5280 feet in a mile.
  • Time is not decimal. There are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day.
