but then again you arent limiting it to only 30 second intervals


we could post every 30 secs, but we could also post in between those intervals

60 minutes * 24 hours = X

X*60 = seconds in a day

hahahahahahahaha

It's easier to say 2 posts/min, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year and multiply it out to get 1051200.

total gold mined so far till today since beginning of humans: 160,000 tonnes

density of gold = 19.3 grams/cc

if all the gold ever were to be made into a cube, how big would this cube be on its edges?

answer to be given rounded to nearest metre.

^^ maybe (i can easily check that, but won't right now), but mine is more impressive as it is definitely more awesome/fantastic to think of a giant cube of gold!!!

if you posted every 10 seconds, and then and only at the moment you begin and end typing your post, which we will say is 20 seconds, your computer powers on and uses 50 kw of power. if power cost 0.59 cent a 1/4 kilowatt. how much power will you have consumed in a 0.23223 light year.

disclaimer - a light year is actually a unit of distance, but you can use it as a unit of time for illustrative purposes such as this math problem.

How can you use it as a unit of time? So what does "0.23223 light years" mean? Time needed for light to travel 0.23223 light years? That would just be 0.23223 years, duh.
