From "Journey to Babel" (D.C. Fontana), Spock's father Sarek is 102.437
TERRESTRIAL years old.  One notes that specifying the age to this precision
(10^-3 yrs) implies that Sarek (the one who gives the age) knows his age
with an uncertainty of approximately 8 hrs and 46 minutes.  One would
think he'd know his date and time of birth more precisely, being the hard-
guy Vulcan that he is.
