Answer / barry

This answer is completely wrong as it would take much longer
to count from 999 million to 1 billion than it would take to
count from 1 to 1 million being that the numbers are a lot
longer to say. 2 people took the time to count to 1 million
and took 39 days. Each million afterwards would take
exponentially longer so even if they could keep up the rate
which is impossible due to length it would take over 106 years.

Answer / guest

Assume that you start counting on 1 January 2001.

9 Years, 187 Days, 5 Hours, 20 minutes

As you can count 200 per minute, to count 1 billion you require

= 1,000,000,000/200 minutes

= 5,000,000 minutes

= 83,333.3333 hours

= 3,472.2222 days

= 9.512937 years

= 9 Years, 187 Days, 5 Hours, 20 minutes

Note that a day off every four year will be a Leap day.
Hence, no need to consider leap year.

Answer / jayahsree

1 Billion = 100000000
For 1 Hrwe can count= 200*60=12000 counts for a hr.
therefore for a day= 12000*24=288000 counts
in order to count 10Cr.,we required total days as:- 100000000/288000= 347.22 Days.

We have 1 day in 4yrs ,therefore347.22/4= 86.805 Yrs.

The Answer is 86.805 Yr required to count 1billion.

Three convicts are brought into the warden's office. He says he can parole one of them and to decide which one he will parole he takes out 5 hats (3 red and 2 white). He stands behind them and places a hat on each one of their heads and puts the other two remaining hats in a drawer. He tells the prisioners they can look at the others hats and if they can tell which hat they have on they will be the one who is paroled. The first man looks at the other two and says, "I don't know." The second man looks at the others hats and says, "I don't know." The third man who is blind says, "Even though I have not the gift of sight I can tell by what the others have said that the color of my hat is..." What color is the blind mans hat and how does he know?

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
