Now let's see, million has 6 zeros, billion has 9 zeros, so trillion must have 12 zeros. This would be 1,000,000,000,000 seconds
Divide by 60 to change seconds to minutes, divide by 60 again to change minutes to hours, divide by 24 to change to days, and divide by 365.25 to change days to years. What does that give you? Are we allowed to use calculators? I get approximately 31,688 years. That looks like C!
R^2
