Sheep Miles

We've all got 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day, but what and how many things we do in a day often varies - hence the concept of 'sheep miles'.

A shepherd with a flock of 10 sheep moves all of them forward 10 miles in 1 day yielding 100 'sheep miles'. Another shepherd moves 100 sheep forward just 1 mile - 100 'sheep miles', as well.

At the end of the day, same number of 'sheep miles' - very different days.
