I think there are some seriously math deficient bassists here in this thread: :laugh:

How many seconds are there in a year of 365 days?
31,536,000 seconds

You have to do 60 X 60 to get one hour (3600 seconds) Then, you have to get 3600 seconds and multiply it by 24 since there are 24 hours in a day (84600 seconds) Then since there are 365 days in a year you have to do 84600 X 365 and you will get 31,536,000 seconds.

My god, why are you randomly putting words in boldface?

297840 seconds ago was three and a half days ago. Perhaps you were mistaken, unless for you it’s still 1987, in which case there’s some stuff you should know.

Ha! Congrats. I don't know if I want to do that. But I an glad I picked it up. I'm glad some dumb punk kid I don't even remember the name of handed me a junky bendy no-name bass and didn't kill me when I broke a string the first time I touched it. That was 1978. But don't know the month. So I can't have a "seconds" count.

Technically using ellipsis in math means you are omitting something So when he said 297,480... we do not know the rest of the sequence.

Or:

In English grammar usage an ellipsis is also used to denote an omission

297,840 seconds ago... I became a bassist - may actually be

297,840 seconds ago, I found the receipt of when I brought my first bass and amp, and that was the day I became a bassist

But I think he is a time traveler.

Alas, Twas google that threw me under the bus, and my own haste. The bill was found this morning.
