Yeah, about the test... The test will measure whether you are an informed, engaged, and productive citizen of the world, and it will take place in schools and bars and hospitals and dorm rooms and in places of worship. You will be tested on first dates, in job interviews, while watching football, and while scrolling through your Twitter feed. The test will judge your ability to think about things other than celebrity marriages, whether you’ll be easily persuaded by empty political rhetoric, and whether you’ll be able to place your life and your community in a broader context. The test will last your entire life, and it will be comprised of the millions of decisions that, when taken together, will make your life yours. And everything, everything, will be on it.

We spend 8 hours every day except saturdays and sundays but the homeworks kind of get the saturday. So only sundays are free. Only 60 days and 8 hours and 33 minutes are free for one year. And 87,840 are all the 6 days of 12 years. Now let's get to the main point out of 87,840 hours how much do all the learning hours take? We spend 29,280 of our life in school which calculates to 1,220 days which calculates to 3 years and 3 months. Sorry...
BtsForLifeu I got 3 years and 18 days. If we go to school 8 hours a day, roughly 275 days a year (since summer break often varies a few days) for 12 years, it’s as simple as multiplying 8 x 275 x 12 to get 26,400 hours, then divide by 24, then 30 to get 36.66666... months. Which is 3 years and 18 days.
