Unnecessary Time Precision

"Rincewind: Exactly how long have you been a barbarian hero?

Nijel the Destroyer: Er. What year is this?

Rincewind: Out on the road, then? Lost track of time? I know how it is. This is the year of the Hyena.

Nijel: Oh, in that case about...about three days."

- Sourcery, Terry Pratchett

Bob's response then reveals that whatever information Alice gave him is irrelevant.

Not to be confused with Ludicrous Precision.
