Yay!

Look at who got here later..... typical, typical. I could never be late to a post.

Nah, I answered one of the problems earlier than you. (Before you looked anyways, you never answered because I got there before you)

Also, you beat me by a few minutes. 10 to 15 minutes.

Wait, Joe, weren't you were late to a chapter of Everpane once x3

---

You've answered almost all of them before me! I have no idea how you're so active!

But yeah, 10-15 minutes is a 900-second difference (which if you think about it is a really long period of time). I'm just him.

@nobi maybe....

Correct! that was actually pretty cool since you had to look up what scientific notation was lol.

There aren’t even 299 million (published) books in the world. There’s around 130,000,000 published books in the world.
