Another example of mangled song tracks. I do not know how you get .465972222 from 11:11. If you google that number, there are different tracks and albums out there called 11:11 with the same problem and same magic number.

That's "accommodating".

Looks like the undefined attorneys went Sunny Side Up a little early.

11:11 is the 671st minute of the day. There are 1440 minutes in a day, 671 / 1440 = 0,4659722...

One or two?
Notice the "$1,1245,475" at the bottom!

So I was curious about the "how you get .465972222 from 11:11" puzzle.
Turns out that 0.465972222.. is 671/1440, which is (11 + 11/60) / 24.
If you interpret 11:11 as an HH:MM duration, then it is 671/1440 of a full day.

11:11 am is 46.5972222... percent of the way through a 24-hour day. (Divide 671 by 1440.) This would probably be most useful as the fractional part of a date represented in days since 1970, or 1899/1900/1904/whatever, but with or without a date attached it's all part of the same attempt to make sense of arbitrary strings.

Good catch! I suspect MS Excel was involved: that's exactly the kind of data conversion that program would do. Same with 10/10 -> 10-Oct.
