Ditto, a non-wiki friend, and myself spent two hours doing math today.
TICKS
1 tick = 1.399 (1.4) seconds
Source: Let's Voltron
1 second = 0.71428571428 ticks 60 seconds (minute) = 42.8571428568 ticks 3600 seconds (hour) = 2571.428571408 ticks 86400 seconds (day) = 61714.285713792 ticks
DOBOSH ("MINUTE")
1 second (0.71428571428 ticks) x 60 = 1 minute (42.8571428568 ticks)
+
0.2857142857 ("ticks" lost when standardizing to 1 second) x 60
= 59.9 (60) ticks = 1 dobosh
"If 1 tick = 1.4 seconds, then 60 ticks = X seconds"
"X seconds = Y minutes"
1 tick x 60 = 1.4 x 60 84 seconds = 1.4 minutes 1 dobosh (60 ticks) = 1.4 minutes (84 seconds)
VARGA ("HOUR")
1 second (0.71428571428 ticks) x 3600 = 1 hour (2571.428571408 ticks)
+
0.2857142857 ("ticks" lost when standardizing to 1 second) x 3600
= 3,599.999999928 (3600) ticks = 1 varga
3,600 ticks / 60 ticks (1 dobosh) = 60
"60 times 1 dobosh (60 ticks) = 1 varga (3600 ticks)"
60 doboshes = Y minutes = Z hours
"If 1 dobosh = 1.4 minutes, then 60 doboshes = Y minutes?"
1 dobosh x 60 = 1.4 minutes x 60 60 doboshes = 84 minutes 1 varga (60 doboshes) = 1.4 hours (84 minutes)
QUINTANT ("DAY")
"Space math for Quintants: Keith and Shiro are with the Blades of Marmora, and the path is closed for 2 quintants. Later, Lance and Coran calculate 10 vargas have passed. 30 are left. Therefore, the path is closed for 40 vargas, or 2 quintants.
40 vargas = 2 quintants | 20 vargas = 1 quintant
Space math."
20 vargas = 1 quintant 1 varga x 20 = 1.4 hours x 20 28 hours = 1 quintant 1 quintant (28 hours) = X days 1 day = 24 hours 28/24 = 1.16667 1 quintant = 1.167 days
CONSISTENCY CHECK
84 minutes x 20 = 1,680 minutes = 1.167 days
Space math.
