About Olympiads
An Olympiad = exactly 4 Gregorian years = 1,461 days = 126,227,808 s. In ancient Greece it was the standard historical dating system counting from the first Olympic Games at Olympia in 776 BCE; adopted by Hellenistic historians (Polybius, Timaeus). Modern Olympiads are numbered from Athens 1896. The 4-year cycle is mirrored in US presidential elections and EU Parliamentary terms. 1 Ol = 4 yr = 126,227,808 s.
About Fortnights
A fortnight = exactly 14 days = 2 weeks = 1,209,600 s. From Old English 'feowertiene niht' (fourteen nights), reflecting the Germanic custom of counting nights. Common in British, Irish, Australian, and NZ English for pay periods, rental cycles, and parliamentary recesses. The Moon's phase advances ~half a synodic month (≤14.77 days) per fortnight; spring and neap tides also cycle fortnightly. 1 fortnight = 14 d = 1,209,600 s.
