We were working on some pages about how much a million is when I answered a question about what I would wish for a million of. I originally wished for a million hours of free time. Then I found out how many days and years it would take by multiplying and dividing. I came up with 114 years! Finally I changed it to 1,000,000 minutes of free time. Please post on the blog if you can find out how many years 1,000,00 minutes is.
