365 days = 1 year

1 minute = 60 seconds

60 minutes = 3600 seconds = 1 hour

1hr = 3600 seconds

24 hrs = 86400 seconds

24 hrs = 1 day = 86400 seconds

1 day = 86400 seconds

365 days = 31536000 seconds = 1 year

1 year = 31,536,000 seconds

80 years = 2,522,880,000 seconds

He blinks every 2 seconds

Therefore, the number of blinks in 80 years will be


\text{ number of blinks = }(2522880000)/(2)=\text{ }1,261,440,000\text{ blinks}
