Today Puzzle #765
Puzzle No. 765鈥� Friday 19 June 2020
Monday is the start of Maths Week London, which aims to change perceptions about maths through a series of fun online activities. Last year, 3 million questions were answered by children for Maths Week London on Sumdog. If each question took 5 seconds, how many 24 hour days of questions were completed?
Today's #PuzzleForToday has been set by Bobby Seagull and fellow maths teacher Susan Okereke, who are both co-hosts of the Maths Appeal podcast.

3 million x 5 seconds = 15 million seconds
One day = 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours = 86,400 seconds
15 million / 86,400 = 173.61 days
