Another "Head Case" example (i.e. quick mental calculation by a character):
In "Obsession"[TOS2], Kirk and Spock are discussing an event "an hour" earlier with the cloud-creature that had been doing warp eight prior to the event. As Kirk notes, it turned and attacked when instead "it could have been many light years away from us".
Even assuming that "many" equalled "two", two light-years per hour is 17,520c.
