What they should have done is linked the seconds number to a “seconds in days” calculator search to let people know what it is. Time marches on… Thanks, Nom de Guerre!

I worked it out and it was equal to GMT +10 or AEST.
It might display the correct number for their time.

After making time zone changes, you have to reload/refresh Google and click “I’m feeling lucky” again but the clock changes will show immediately you click “Apply” or “OK.”
Have fun! We did. :D
