How long does it take to count back from one billion to one?

Question

My sister told me I would die before I was finished, so I want to know roughly the time frame in which I have left to live.

This question may also serve as proof of premeditation, if necessary.

Answer 1

See, I told you, Ari. You will die before you are done, but at least you are having a good time.

Answer 2

Your sister is likely correct, though it depends on how fast you count and how old you are now.

If you count for for 12hours a day, 365days a year (you can take one day off on leap years) and you count 1 number per second, it will take you about 63 and one half years.

Answer 3

Your sister would be right.  Even if you were really fast and didn't mess up, and didn't take breaks.

It would be well over 130 years!

Answer 4

On average 13 billion 113 million 23 thousand 17 seconds

Answer 5

It depends on how fast you count

Answer 6

32 years

Answer 7

ok so... lets just say you count every number at least 2 second each, so  thats 2 billion seconds.... which is 33,333,333 minutes and thats 555,555 hours.... which is 23148 days... which is 63 years!!! so you could do it!! (depending on your age! lol)

Answer 8

About 20 years, because you need to eat and sleep.

Answer 9

a billion seconds

Answer 10

1 billion seconds

Answer 11

lol great math question:

numbers per year:

60x60x24x365 = 31,536,000

so 1billion would take about 32 years NON-STOP!

BTW do counters have a union - like do you get weekends off, vacation, sick time -

?

guess your mileage may vary - I recommend you get your sister to take the first 10 years of so - and you can finish up

;-)

gudluk

Answer 12

Hmmm let's see...nine hundred ninety nine million, nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine okay yeah way too ******* long.

Answer 13

One number per second would take you a little over 31 years... good little math question :)

Answer 14
