Woke up late one day and while having breakfast i wonder how many days does a man spend sleeping considering he’ll live for seventy years and has regular eight hours sleep daily?
this is my attemptĀ to compute (haha!)

Now let’s compute how many hours does a man sleeps in a year considering he has regular 8 hours sleep daily:

Now let’s multiply that for seventy years and we’ll have:

So if a man lives for 25,000 days minus 8,540 sleeping days he will have 17,010 waking days, that is 47 years only!
Cool! So what’s the lesson here? Math is fun. Mathematicians are wise people according to Proverbs 90:12
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
current mood: all these math makes me want to sleep.

Hi, Yanangski.
I love this post!
I was always bad at math, but let’s face it – it does add order to our world.
Interesting literal interpretation of the proverb – I thought that it was referring to renumeration – thinking about what we have done. You may be more accurate.
