Reference in The Prince and the Pauper
“ ‘Only that thou be blind and dumb and paralytic whilst one may count a hundred thousand—counting slowly,’ said Hendon, with the expression of a man who asks but a reasonable favour, and that a very little one.” (p. 148)
Counting to 100,000
- Amount of time to count to 100 (slowly)
- 132 seconds (2 minutes 12 seconds)
- Amount of time to count to 1,000
- 132 x 10 = 1320 seconds (22 minutes)
- Amount of time to count to 10,000
- 1320 x 10 = 13,200 seconds (220 minutes) (3 hours 40 minutes)
- Amount of time to count to 100,000
- 13,200 x 10 = 132,000 seconds (2,200 minutes) (36 hours, 40 minutes)
