The math for 1 million seconds is wrong.

You don’t get to 1 million seconds until 11.5 days.

I wonder how much that throws off everything else?

yah, the time math is all wrong.

But here’s one.
Earth’s population is 6.928 billion people.

To reach a trillion people, you’d need 144 earths.

The number for 1,000,000 seconds is wrong; the others are accurate to “two significant figures”.

Here, broke out the calculator and double checked the numbers:

1 million seconds = 11.5740740741 days = 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds

1 billion seconds = 31.7097919838 years = 31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, 40 seconds

1 trillion seconds = 31,709.791838 years = 31,709 years, 289 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, 40 seconds

and just in case you’re dying to know, 4 days is actually 345600 seconds

You are correct but he got the other two right. 11.57 times 1000 divided by 365 is close to 32.
