Question 1100626: Willard Van Winkle (distant cousin of Rip) woke up slowly and looked around. "These things don't exist," he said, "wait a minute. ..." Suddenly a voice said, "No, wait 6,000,000 minutes!" And so it was - Willard had in fact been asleep for 6,000,000 minutes, having fallen asleep on January 1, 1990 at 8 PM. What time did Willard wake up?
I have tried to solve the problem, but it was so hard implying the leap years and the calculation of the date. If someone could solve this for me, it would mean everything.

6000000 minutes=100,000 hours
100,000 hours=4166.67 days
4166.67 days=11.407711613050422085329682865617 years
The year was 2001
.407711613050422085329682865617 years = 148.81473876340406114533424595026 days
148.81473876340406114533424595026 days of 2011=Saturday, May 28
0.81473876340406114533424595026238 days=19.55 hours
.55 hours=33 minutes
The time was 7:33 p.m.
