Entity Martin Orpen spoke thus:

Thanks!
That is a mighty strange hack, but it'll do (shorter than Paul's solution).
These have the same effect:
set realNumber to exponent as miles as string
set realNumber to exponent as centimeters as string
set realNumber to exponent as liters as string
(for a goof, write "litres" and watch what happens!)
So I was tempted to say:
set realNumber to exponent as seconds as string
... which fails miserably. Seems a little rotund since my script calculates
seconds of the UNIX epoch:
set x to (do shell script "date +%s") as number
x - x mod 604800 as meters as string -->1081987200 (on 2004/4/17)
Server X rotates logfiles weekly on Thursday AM and inserts a time variable
into the name.
The variable is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970 until the midnight UTC
prior to the logfile rotation.
And good luck to your daughter and her math, she has a bid advantage with a
tutor like you!
