How Long Does It Take To Count to 1 Million?
Naturally, that depends on how fast you can count.
But if you can count from 1 to 100 in one minute, and you keep counting every minute, without stopping, for eight hours every day (taking time off to eat, sleep, and go to school), you would reach 1,000,000 in 20 days, 6 hours, and 40 minutes, or almost 3 weeks.
If, however, you give up eating, sleeping, and school, and just count every minute of every hour of every day, you would reach 1,000,000 in 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes, almost 1 week.

I'm melting!
I just ran around the world five times while I typed this.
Your Dumm!
No 0ne can runz ar0und da w0rld five timez!!!!!11
i think it would better if
i think it would better if you just count one number million times
I think it would be even better if
I think it would be even better if you were capable of typing a grammatically correct sentence. "...count on number million times" really?
Are you really that dumb?
Most likely.
I think it would be even more better if
I think it would be even more better if you were capable of quoting a source accurately. If you look carefully, the First Dummy said "...count ONE number million times" not "...count ON number million times".
Now, you seem like the kind of person who would reply back to this and say that neither of you had any words in all caps, but I had to use all caps to highlight both of your dumb mistakes.
Just to clarify, my title was typed grammatically incorrect intentionally in order to make fun of both really dumb titles.
I think it would be even much more better if
I think it would be even much more better if you guyses stopped this madness!
I think it would be even so much more better if
I think it would be even so much more better if you would stop hugging trees and drinking syrup.
"Guyses" isn't a word by the way...
...
What?! Root beer vodka made me look this up, what's your excuse???
I don't think so
If it takes one second to say each number with two digits how many seconds does it take to say a number with six digits? Therefore it must take longer to say some numbers than others. For example, how long does it take to say 7, how long does it take to say 42? How long does it take to say 147,697? Therefore it varys from how fast you can say the numbers and how long they are.
I do think so
^^ Get a load of this kid! He thinks he's some kinda wiz-kid!
Actually, you're dumb, because although you have a legit argument, the word "varies" in your last sentence was spelled incorrectly as "varys".
Dummy!
Also, being a bit more
Also, being a bit more generous and also including a small pause between every number - for the counter to catch his or her breath - stretching for the same duration (0.3 seconds), would add another 3.5 days to that.
According to a small script I did..
It would take something like six and a half week to count to one million if you read every number out loud. Depending on how many syllables there is in the time it takes to say it will vary.
Added together the numbers between 1 and 1000000 contain 13219006 syllables. And that is if you skip the usuage of the additional word "and" and only focus on pronouncing the numbers.
How many syllables that can be pronounced per second will most likely differ between persons. Some will most probably also argue that syllables in smaller numbers will be easier to say, than syllables in larger numbers. I don't know. But it isn't that important anyway.
Let us just guess a mean value for how many seconds that is needed to pronounce a "general" syllable. 0.3 seconds for example. This multiplied with the number of syllables that one would need to pronounce would result in a counting duration of 49 days.
Also, being a bit more generous and also including a small pause between every number - for the counter to catch his or her breath - stretching for the same duration (0.3 seconds), would add another 3.5 days to that.
So, to sum it up a rather speedy counter with a sharp mind that wouldn't do anything but counting would have to spend around 50 days to reach the one million mark.
Unless this small thesis of mine is incorrect, that is.
?! you're kidding....
you guys ACTUALLY tried doing this.......
wow.
where DO you find the time????
Not true. It takes much
Not true. It takes much longer to say 987,986...987,987 than it does to say 99...100...101
That's way off
it takes much longer to count in the 100000s than it does in the 100s
Just under 30 days. Giving
Just under 30 days. Giving an average time for each power of 10, 99 10s, 900 100s, 9000 1000s, 90000 10000s and 900000 100000s.
YA THEY'RE RIGHT!
YA THEY'RE RIGHT!
ONE MILLION
It takes 11 and a half days to count to one million.
1 second=1number
60 seconds=1 minute
60 minutes=1 hour
24 hours=1 day
Divide 1 million(1,000,000), by 60 . . .
1,000,000 divided by 60=16666.66667
Divide 16666.66667 by 60 again
16666.66667 divided by 60=277.7777778
Divide 277.7777778 by 24
277.7777778 divided by 24=11.57407407
Therefore it takes around 11 and a half days for an average person to count to 1 million. It all counts on how fast that person can count aswell.
you are stupid
how does 1 second = 1 number
THERE IS NO CORRECT ANWSER
THERE IS NO CORRECT ANWSER FOR ONE
AND FOR TWO THAT PERSON WHO WROTE THAT COMMENT BEFORE YOU IS PRETTY FRIKEN SMART
