How many seconds are in two years?
The answer to this question is very easy to calculate. Using a pocket calculator, any high school student should be able to answer this question correctly in a few seconds:
Multiply 60 (the number of seconds in a minute) x 60 (the number of minutes in an hour) x 24 (the number of hours in a day) x 365* (the number of days in a year), then multiply by 2 (the number of years at issue in the question).
* Adjust accordingly for a leap year.
Note: The answer below is wrong.
