I came up with a differerent answer not quite that high. It seems like it would be simple but everyone comes up with a different answer, I guess because of the leap year factor.nitrogen wrote:31,556,926 seconds in a regular year, so I guess there'd be 31,643,326 in a leap year.
(86,400 seconds in a day)
That of course is a calendar year. YOu also have sidereal years, draconic year, galactic year, etc...
Leap seconds a are different beast than leap years, despite sharing a similar name.Kalrog wrote:60(seconds in a minute)x60(minutes in an hour)x24(hours in a day)x366(days in a leap year)+1(extra leap second) = 31,622,401
Interwebz wrote: The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) announces the insertion of a leap second whenever the difference between UTC and UT1 approaches 0.6 s, to keep the difference between UTC and UT1 from exceeding ±0.9 s. The announcement appears in IERS "Bulletin C", typically published every six months.
What was your answer and how did you get it? Be sure to show your work for full creditSodbuster wrote:That's 2 folks now with the same answer, I came up with a lower one that I think is right.
The correct answer is twelve, and I got it from my eight year old grandson. He asked me the same question and I ciphered on it for awhile on it with the calculator too, only to learn the 'real' answer: Jan Second, Feb Second, March Second, Apr Second, May Second, etc.Kalrog wrote:What was your answer and how did you get it?

Nope, sorry you are still wrong. Figuring that way, it is 24. He forgot January 22 (twenty-second), February 22 (twenty second), .....
