Or split both length and time in halve and get the speed right anyway.
145.5m in 120 seconds= 1.21m/s, 1knot= 0.5144m/s, so speed= 2.36 knots
72.75 (73-ish on the wheel) in 60 seconds is also 1.21m/s

1. What is the longest it should take any ship from B to S?
|
That very much depends on how slow it is. Is it stationary? Answer: An eternity! Moving? Answer: Alot quicker!

2. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing, see below.
This is not a stupid question. The layout of the Range/AOB wheels used by joegrundman and OLC was not intended for this purpose, so it's just bad luck for us that the word 'entfernung' is in the way of those numbers and marks. Just remember this is in effect a multiplication/division-wheel. If you do the same to both numbers (divide length and time by 2; or even easier 10, which is the direct opposite side of the wheel) the result is also the same.
