Count to a Million

My maths is terrible, but...

*concentrates hard; counts on fingers, muttering *

Dividend by sixty, that's.... minutes...

Divide again... That makes... Is that right?

That's almost...!

17,633 seconds!!!

(I told you my maths was bad. 😬)
 
You guys will never make it.

17634/1000000 chance, at most.
 
Well, I intend to adopt a falsely positive outlook on our chances. In the words of any football manager: "At the end of the day, it's a game of two halves. Go out there and give it 17,636 percent."

Their maths might be even worse than mine. 😬
 
So, only 982,363 more posts to go! 1.7637% complete... Yay! Almost there!

When I was in elementary school, probably about 4th or 5th grade, myself and three of the neighborhood kids I hung out with spent the entire summer break playing the card game Rummy, with our goal being to get to a million points for the winner. It took us all summer and playing a couple hours almost every day, but we did make it to a million just a few days before school started in the fall. I ended up the lucky winner, lol. I wish I still had the score sheets we used to keep track of all the games!
