[bettina44]

we've all tried it as little kiddies and epically failed =( i'm just wondering what number you guys got upto? the furtherest i went was 1000 =S

 

[oddish]

i did once

 

[Trebla]

As kids we always did "one, two...skip a few...999 999, a million!!!"

At 5 numbers a second it would take you more than two straight days to get there

correct me if i'm wrong but most people don't get past two hundred in a minute = 3 numbers a second. 1 000 000/200/60/24= 3.472 days? sounds kinda doable if anyone was bothered

when you start getting to 4 and 5 digits numbers it can take way more than a second to say the number though =/

Who would want to? It achieves very little..

We actually sat down in one of Maths Classes once and worked it out

The shortest number to say is all the single syllable ones

The longest is 777,777...

on average you end up getting about 1.5 numbers a second.

1,000,000/1.5 = 666,666.6*

666,666.6*/60 seconds/60Minutes

=185.185185... hours of pure counting

You can do probably a maximim of 14 hours of counting per day (minimum 8 for sleep and and approx 2 for eating, going to the loo etc)

185.185185.../14 = 13 and a bit days of nothing but counting...




I haven't done Maths for a while, but I think that's the formula we used

Spoken like a true volunteer.
