Math Question! Calling all mathematicians!

58300 seconds

About a whole year n a half...

dude.. there's 39,446,145 seconds in a year...

how's 38,500 seconds almost a year in a half?

Look carefully at my answer n try again

Look carefully at my answer n try again

Oops I missread the seconds thing.. my bad give me a moment

its early im confused. Ahh

can someone confirm his answer?

ok.. i thought you meant 38500 seconds saved.. well if thats the case it still doesnt add up to your comment ("about a whole year and a half")
Nah bro I read 39, 446 I didnt notice it was 39, 446, 145 lol.. my bad..
sorry man not trying to bash... just understand

Was it 58300 seconds? I did it quickly in my head but it should be right...

So you're saving 2 seconds per day. That's 730 seconds per years or 12 minutes 10 seconds each year. 70 x 730 seconds = 51,100 seconds or 851 minutes 40 seconds, which equates to:

1 Day, 11 hours, 11 minutes and 40 seconds.

Quick question..

I found a new way to tie my shoelaces.

Typically, It would take me 3 seconds to tie 1 shoelace. That's a total of 6 seconds for both shoelaces.

This new method of tying my shoelaces saves me 1 second per shoe. That's a total of 2 seconds saved.

Now for the question.

How many seconds of my life would I save if I tied my shoelaces using this new method for 70 years straight? Assuming I use shoes with laces everyday.


Things to help you out:

In one calendar year (365 days)

Hours - 8765.81

Minutes - 657,435.75

Seconds - 39,446,145



2 time 365 = 730 x70 = 51100 oops my bad again.. its 51100

This is easy math I guess... Thanks for the help!

impossible to predict how many times a day you would tie your shoelaces.

if you really wanted to save time, dont use shoes with laces?

How long does it take to untie them first? How many times are you putting your shoes on and taking them off?

So you're saving 2 seconds per day. That's 730 seconds per years or 12 minutes 10 seconds each year. 70 x 730 seconds = 51,100 seconds or 851 minutes 40 seconds, which equates to:

1 Day, 11 hours, 11 minutes and 40 seconds.

Hydra - I did say after my calculation:

My figures are based on a 365 day year.

Close enough.

14.194 hours if you tie them once a day.

...plus 36 seconds for leap years.
