Billy 40 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 CAn anyone count to a billion? How long would it take to count that high?

DAAron Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 it would take roughly 31 years to count to a billion out loud, and that is at a pace of one number a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabo2005 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Indian Point has been there through the lows and highs. When it was licensed cooling towers were not required and if you have ever seen it, there is no room for them. With all the climate change talk why would anyone want to remove the lowest carbon emitter of any major energy producing source? Cabo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

work2much Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Maybe it was an exaggeration of such extreme number of 1 billion by all the parties involved including fishermen... So.. Perhaps we should count ONLY for 500 MILLION?? LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
work2much Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 You want your ligths to turn on? Of course.. Don't forget AWARENESS keeps us fishing.

Billy 40 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 it would take roughly 31 years to count to a billion out loud, and that is at a pace of one number a second. I knew I'd learn somehthing interesting in this post. Take into account sleeping. SOmeone can spend almost their entire lifetime counting to a billion. Imagine getting up to 462,877,256 and someone interrupts you and you forget what you were up to?

Africaster Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Depends, my youngsters favourite counting method (needs to be done in a song-song tone) One ..... two ...... Skip a few ..... Ninety-nine ... One hundred .... Any society that charges it's own children for knowledge, is doomed to fail. Whilst intelligence is not affected by geography, it is influenced by education, opportunity and drive. Now is the time to change our attitude towards blues, next year may well be too late (Somebody listened ) Member of the Yellow Eyed Devils May you never have to fish to live, rather live to fish.

I don't even think anyone could count 462,877,256 aloud in one second its just such a big number. but yeah getting interrupted would be the worst.
