Suppose you were offered one billion dollars.
However, first you had to count every dollar
using these rules:
1. You must count one dollar every second.
2. You must count for eight hours every day
with no breaks.
3. You must count every day of the year.
4. You must take off one day each leap year.
5. You must count every year until you reach
one billion.
How long do you think it would take until you
counted one billion dollars?
You can count $60 in one minute and $3,600
in one hour. You can count $28,800 in one
eight-hour day. You can count $10,512,000
in one year. In 10 years, you could count
$105,120,000. In 90 years, you could count
$946,080,000. In 95 years, you could count
$998,640,000. You would have to spend 95
years, 47 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, and 40
seconds to count one billion dollars. You
might be sick of money and too tired to care
by that time!
