<h1 class="center">Activity: Count to a Billion</h1>

<p class="center"><i>How long does it take to count to a billion?</i></p>

<table align="center" border="0">

<tbody>

<tr>

<td>To start, see how long it takes you to count from <b>1 to 100</b> <br>

(you can time it using the <a href="../measure/stopwatches.html">Stopwatch</a>).</td>

|
|
<p>It took me 25 seconds to do the counting. <b>Use your own number of seconds in these estimates.</b></p>
|
|
<p class="center larger">"I can count to 100 in 25 seconds" (put your own time here)</p>
|
|
<p>So ... how long does it take to count to 1,000? Answer: 10 times 25 seconds, and then double that because it takes longer to say "one-hundred etc...", so that is about 10 minutes.</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><span class="larger">"To count to <b>1,000</b> takes about 10 minutes"</span></p>
|
|
<p>How long to 10,000? 10 times 10 minutes is 100 minutes. Plus extra for saying longer numbers and a little rest time is about 2 hours.</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><span class="larger">"To count to <b>10,000</b> takes about 2 Hours"</span></p>
|
|
<p>How long to 100,000? 10 times 2 Hours is 20 Hours. But the numbers take longer to say, and you need time to eat and sleep. So maybe 2 <i>very long</i> days.</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><span class="larger">"To count to <b>100,000</b> is 2 Hard Day's work"</span></p>
|
|
<p class="center"><i>MrBeast on YouTube counted to 100,000 in 40 hours straight. <br>
|
|
He later continued on to 200,000 taking 55 hours</i>.</p>
|
|
<p>How long to 1 Million? 10 times 2 Days is 20 Days. Longer numbers and longer breaks will make that at least 1 month.</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><span class="larger">"To count to <b>1,000,000</b> is at least 1 month's work"</span></p>
|
|
<p class="center"> </p>
|
|
<p><b>Wow! Over a month to count to a Million! But it only took 25 seconds to count to 100.</b></p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<p><i>Back in 2007 Jeremy Harper counted to a million in 89 days at 16 hours a day for charity. He wasn't in a hurry and may have been able to count faster I think!</i></p>
|
|
<p><i>Note: if you could count at the same speed as you did to 100 it would still take nearly 70 hours.</i></p>
|
|
<h2>Now Onwards to a Billion</h2>
|
|
<p>Assuming your voice could hold out and you get really good at saying numbers:</p>
|
|
<p>How long to 10 Million? 10 times 1 month is 10 months, so about one year. </p>
|
|
<p class="center"><span class="larger">"To count to <b>10 Million</b> is about 1 Year's work"</span></p>
|
|
<p>How long to 100 Million? 10 times 1 year is 10 Years (at least).</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><span class="larger">"To count to <b>100 Million</b> is at least 10 Year's work"</span></p>
|
|
<p>And now ... how long to 1 Billion? 10 times 10 years is ... 100 years or more!</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><span class="large">"To count to <b>1 Billion</b> will take over 100 years"</span></p>
|
|
<p class="center"> </p>
|
|
<p><i>What?</i> 25 seconds to count to 100, but <b>100 Years</b> to count to a Billion. Amazing.</p>
|
|
<p>(Now don't get me started on a Trillion!)</p>
|
|

|
|
<p><b>How long would it take you?</b></p>
