The general rule is to multiply the time difference (in seconds) between the arriving p and s waves by 8 km/s. The result will give the distance to the quakes origin. In the case of a 40 second delay the distance would be 320 km or roughly 200 miles. It should be noted that the method detailed here is used for quakes occuring less than 200 km away.

Approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes passed from the time the Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:40 pm on April 14, 1912, until it sank at 2:20 am on April 15, 1912.
Potassium-argon dating is a radiometric dating method that determines the age of rocks by measuring the ratio of potassium-40 to argon-40. This technique is based on the fact that potassium-40 decays into argon-40 over time at a known rate. By comparing the amount of argon-40 present in a rock sample to the amount of potassium-40, scientists can calculate the age of the rock.
It happens to be -40 Celsius too.
During the last ice age, the ice sheets extended as far south as present-day New York City in North America and covered most of Northern Europe. In the Southern Hemisphere, the ice sheets extended as far north as 40° S latitude in South America and southern Australia.

40 miles = 60 minutes. 40 / 360 * 13 = 1.444 where: 40 = miles, 360 = seconds in an hour, 13 = seconds. The car will travel approximately 1.4 km in 13 seconds.
(4 meters/second)(40 seconds) = 160 meters.
