Question

What if you were offered $1 million dollars to count from 1 to 6 x 10²³ at a rate of one number each second? Determine your hourly wage. Would you do it? Could you do it?

Answer 1

Answer: If I were offered $1 million dollars to count from 1 to 6 x 10²³ at a rate of one number each second, my hourly wage would be $5,104,209,965,021.60 per hour. This is a very high wage, and I would certainly consider accepting such a generous offer. However, if I were required to count manually, it would take me well over 6.9 million years to complete the task.
