QUESTION:

 

How long would it take you to go broke if you had $10 billion dollars, and you spent $1 every second of each day?

 

Good Luck!

 

Our first place winner will receive a coupon for 1 note graded under the Standard grading tier. (You must have an active account with PMG, call PMG for details) There will also be a runner up prize given to a randomly selected player with the correct answer.

 

 

REMINDER: The Numisma-Quest ends on Saturday at midnight EST. Entries after that time will not be valid. See the Trivia info post for more details.

 

When you post your answer, only the administrators can see it . Stop back this Monday. We will make all the posts visible and announce the winners.

By my quick calculation it would take 317 years, 35 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds, but that's assuming a constant 365 days in a year. I'm too lazy to adjust for leap year.

Assuming 365 days years every year, it would take 317 years, 35 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

 

If not assuming 365 day years (leap years), it would be 115,740 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

Using quick railroad math, that works out to 317.0979 years discounting leap years and if you take leap years into account, that would make it 316.88 years.

IT WOULD TAKE YOU:115741 DAYS, OR 316.88 YEARS AND THAT EQUALS EXACTLY- 316 YEARS, 10 MONTHS, 21 DAYS, 4 HOURS, 47 MINUTES AND 42.72 SECONDS, INCLUDING LEAP YEARS, AND THAT EQUALS ONE HELL OF A LONG TIME TO SPEND $10,000,000,000.00 BUT IT WOULD SURE BE FUN TRYING NOT TO MENTION, NGC WOULD SURE BE BUY GRADING ALL MY NEW COINS!!

317.1 years...more or less you would never go broke. Hopefully you would have invested the money in some sort of high yield CD or money market and would only be spending your interest...

i feel you have chosen the wrong person, in your question you asked how long it would take to spend the $10,000,000,000.00, you chose a winner that had an estimated time, in fact you didn't say an estimated answer, you asked how long? so you would have to figure out the exact amount of time and award the prize to the person who has the correct answer and not to the person who has an estimated answer, and on top of his answer he over shot the amount of time, he replied 317 years, when it was 316 years and some time
