    Counting to a million
    How long would it take an average person to count to one million if they had 8 hours a day to do the counting.

    Say a person takes 1 second per number (because some big numbers take a long time to say. That would be 1,000,000 seconds, or 1666 and 2/3 minutes, or 277.77 hours, or, if they had 8 hours a day, approximately 34.72 days (34 days and 5.6 hours; .7 of 8 hours, not 24)if I'm not mistaken. If you're going to try, I suggest you start now; you've got a lot of counting to do.
