You're missing 200 seconds.

Am I missing something or just dumb? I did the math and 10! came out to 6 weeks exactly...

You're right, I fucked up.

We forgive you

neat

It took me way too long to understand the joke, I may be fucking dumb

It's okay I still love you. <3

Me too.
It’s even there in the title I didn’t read at first. I thought it was about them having just 10 seconds left.

I still don’t get it, so… you could be worse.

10! means ten factorial. So 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1.

It's a common math joke.

A number followed by an exclamation point means multiplying it by each whole number below it until one.

3! = 3*2*1 = 6
5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800

3,628,800 seconds / 60 = 60,480 minutes
1008 hours
42 days
6 weeks

seconds in an hour = 3600 = 10 * 9 * 8 * 5

24 hours in a day = 6 * 4

7 days in a week = 7

6 weeks = 6 = 3 * 2 * 1

Fine, I'll do the math:

60 seconds in a minute (10 × 6)

60 minutes in an hour (9 × 5 × 4 / 3)

24 hours in a day (8 × 3)

7 days in a week (7)

6 weeks (3 × 2)

The bold 3's cancel out and become × 1, and then it's easy to see each integer from 1 to 10 appears exactly once when it's all multiplied together.

Aw, you beat me to it! But I formatted it better. So who wins? :P

6 Weeks * 7 days * 8 * 3 (24) hours * 2 * 4 * 5 * 9 * 10 (3600 = 60²) seconds

The last one is a bit of a jump, but 9 * 4 is 36 and 10 * 5 * 2 is 100 so together it's 3600.

Omg brotha stay strong 💀

This is neat, never thought about this

It's not typeset correctly or it would have been obvious and ruined the joke.

Hehe. Thanks for the chuckle.

Okay, but did he pronounce it as "Ten factorial"‽‽‽‽‽

Nah, he wrote it

It's like "there are 10 kinds of people in the world: those that can read binary, and those that can't."

It doesn't work if you say it aloud.

Okay, I tried the joke out. I said "it" out loud to my spouse and they didn't laugh.

Thank you!

hmm, seems my line breaks were removed...
