Megoldás. A feladat feltételei szerint \(\displaystyle 1\) hét \(\displaystyle = \frac{7}{7}\) nap \(\displaystyle =1\) nap. Ekkor \(\displaystyle 2\) hét \(\displaystyle =2\) nap \(\displaystyle =2 \cdot 42\) óra \(\displaystyle = 84\) óra \(\displaystyle =84 \cdot 77\) perc \(\displaystyle = 6468 \) perc \(\displaystyle =6468 \cdot 33\) másodperc \(\displaystyle = 213 \, 444 \) másodperc, vagyis Hetedhétországban \(\displaystyle 2\) hét \(\displaystyle 213 \, 444\) másodpercig tart.
