1.96666666 hours is what I got

Colin Booker · Answer 2

I got 718 hours. I took how many total years by subtracting 16 from 75, getting 59 years, so 365*59=21,535 days. two minutes a day so 21,535*2=43,070 minutes. that converted to hours is 717.8 if I'm not mistaken. so round that, and you have about 718 hours. I hope that's right!
