[Yr11 Information Technology] Programming task

[Mark Kelly]

An interesting and educational programming challenge for your kids would 
be to write a program to convert from (K)bits per second to megabytes 
per hour. e.g. you're downloading a torrent at 500 Kbps, how much will 
be downloaded in an hour?

The algorithm is fun, and the unit conversions are handy to know.

Cheers
Mark
