Timespans

A timespan is a quantity of time that displays multiple components (from the year down to the second)

5.5 minutes as timespan              | 5 min 30 s
4.54 hours as timespan               | 4 hours 32 minutes 24 seconds
72 days as timespan                  | 10 weeks 2 days

Timespans can be expressed and formatted in various ways

3 hours 5 minutes 10 seconds             | 3 hours 5 minutes 10 seconds
3h 5m 10s                                | 3 hours 5 minutes 10 seconds

3h 5m 10s in seconds                     | 11,110 s 

Laptimes

A laptime is a quantity of time in the format HH:MM:SS.MS (hour:minute:second.millisecond), commonly used by timers.

5.5 minutes as laptime               | 00:05:30

You can do arithmetic with laptimes:

03:04:05 + 01:02:03                    | 04:06:08
00:12:05 − 00:04:09                    | 00:07:56

A laptime must include two colons so Soulver can distinguish it from a clock time.

For example, to specify a laptime of 1.5 seconds, use 00:00:01.5

You can convert between laptimes and timespans

03:04:05 as timespan                    | 3 hours 4 minutes 5 seconds
3 hours 4 minutes 5 seconds as laptime  | 03:04:05

Double Time Units

12.5 minutes in minutes and seconds     | 12 min 30 s
1.4 weeks in hours and minutes          | 235 hours 12 min
4.5 weeks in days and hours             | 31 days 12 hours
