# Write a program that tells you the following:
#
# Hours in a year. How many hours are in a year?
# Minutes in a decade. How many minutes are in a decade?
# Your age in seconds. How many seconds old are you?
#
# Define at least the following methods to accomplish these tasks:
#
# seconds_in_minutes(1)
# minutes_in_hours(1)
# hours_in_days(1)
# days_in_weeks(1)
# weeks_in_years(1)

# If I am 1,111 million seconds old, how old am I?
# Define an age_from_seconds method
