So, we have the game "ole" MILLION FACE wich costs 20 €, and we can finish it in exactly 28 years, 8 hours, 58 minutes and 48 seconds...

"ole" MILLION FACE - un jeu de société illustré par Carey ORR (USA) : photographie

We want to know how much costs 1 hour of this game....

It is thus necessary first of all to transform the total duration into seconds.

  • 1 hour = 3.600 seconds
  • 1 day = 3600 (seconds) x 24 (hours) = 86.400 seconds
  • 1 week = 86.400 (seconds) x 7 (days) = 604.800 seconds
  • 1 year = 604.800 (seconds) x 52 (weeks) = 31.449.600 seconds

So :

  • 28 years = 880.588.800 seconds
  • 8 hours = 28.800 seconds
  • 58 minutes = 3.480 seconds
  • 48 seconds = 48 seconds

What gives us a 880.621.128 seconds total for finishing the game.

To obtain one duration in hours, let us divide this number by 3.600 = 244.616,98 hours

Like this game costs 20 €, let us divide 20 by 244.616,98....

This costs thus 0,0000817605 € by hour !!!
At this price, it is straightforwardly given, not?

Oh YES !!!
I run to buy it! >
