Question

I guess i should not really put this here but oh well because i have no where else to put this fun fact and wanted feedback on it.

How long would it take to count from one to one million?
Answer: 23 days
I believe that is slow i can do it in maybe 10 to 15 days.
What do you think?
comments?

Answer 1

can this be true?

Answer 2

maybe the math section would know :)

Answer 3

I can do it in one second.

one, one million

:D

Answer 4

Let's say you count 3 every second.

1,000,000 / 3 = 333,333 1/3 seconds

And there are 86,400 seconds in a day:

333,333 1/3 / 86,400 = 3.86

Or about 4 days.

Answer 5

It all depends on how fast you count. @some.random.cool.kid

Answer 6

well thats fast @igreen

Answer 7

It also depends on the hours you spend counting. If you do it 24/7....well, you get my point. xD

Answer 8

Let's say I say a number every second. That means I speak 60 words a minute. There is 1440 minutes a day, so that means I would say 86,940 numbers a day. That also means I speak 608,580 numbers a week. 1,217,160 in two weeks.

I would speak 1 million numbers in a little more that 1 week and 4 days

Answer 9

It would be impossible, you would stop to eat food, sleep, bathe, talk, etc.

So that is a non-logical explination

Answer 10

And saying 3 numbers a second constantly is a pretty hard thing when you get the the 5/6 digit numbers

Oh you would have yo worry about stuttering to

Answer 11

The the number increases, it will take longer to sa.

Answer 12

Correct

Answer 13

So we should go with 10 secs as avg, including space between countiong

Answer 14

There isn't really a constant rate at with you can speak every. single. number. at

Answer 15

10 seconds a number?

Answer 16

average

Answer 17

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

Answer 18

1 *ten seconds* 2 *ten seconds* etc etc

Answer 19

average

Answer 20

starts with 3 seconds 1 *3 sec* 2 *3 sec*
increases

Answer 21

let's settle with 8 sec average

Answer 22

1 hundred fifty nine thousand 1 hundred forty nine is long

Answer 23

3 seconds would be 20 numbers a minute. 28800 numbers a day. 201600 numbers a week. 403200 in two weeks. 604800 in three. 806400 in four, and 1008000 in fine

Answer 24

five***

Answer 25

3 sec minimum

Answer 26

So it would take you about 35 days at a 3 second rate

Answer 27

And that number isn't long if you speak it fast :P Some people can say numbers fast, some people can't. I tested myself saying long numbers and I did them all under one second

Answer 28

ur riight

Answer 29

i over estiated

Answer 30

estimated*

Answer 31

So 1 second is reasonable for some people :P

Answer 32

1.5 or 2 would be also.

Seconds can be a big difference

Answer 33

Hypothetical question: Why would one want to count to 1 mil?

Answer 34

Not sure

Answer 35

Maybe I should count as fast as I can outloud t 1 million (taking breaks ofc) and time how long it takes (without the breaks*

Hehe, fun project

Answer 36

That is what you could do. It would take less if you weren't saying every number the same rate
