I'd walk 16 days

Okay, we decided one mm equals one year. We used a trundle wheel set to click every meter (that's 1,000 mm). Therefore, one meter equals a millenium (1,000 years). We walked through the middle school and high school and only walked 350 meters. That's 350,000 years. Oh my! We would have to make three laps to equal 1 million years. -- I sent one volunteer to jog the distance. It took about two minutes. In the end, we calculated it would take 16 non-stop days of walking. Whew! The Earth is 'pert near as old as Mr. Z!

Have a great night.
