I was always late everywhere when I was in eighth grade, so I lengthened my stride, and it is still much longer than the tallest person that I have met. People stupidly claim that I am a jerk because I leave my girlfriend behind (when I have one).
Wait, what?
When I have a girlfriend I walk her speed, but I take issue when old people pass us easily, and everyone else passes the old people.
Anyway, the obvious solution to Imperial timekeeping is to declare 87.66 hours one 100-hour day. Then you only have one hundred days per year!
You will not be able to rely on the position of the sun or your circadian rhythm, but those are mere crutches!
