Sharing my general knowledge week 14 | Numbers Never Lie | by @abdullhahsafdar

Time changes and never comes back, memories can come back, moments, people, and things too, but time, never because it just grows, even the time when I wrote this post was different from the time I uploaded it, and the same when you read it. Because we have no control over time, it just grows with every passing microsecond and moment we spend.

Some people believe that numbers never lie. In fact, numbers help to reach the end of the truth. I did not believe in it, but when it started working, then I had no choice but to believe, how? let's discuss it with the questions asked by @sahar78 for the contest. I appreciate her organising it and allowing us to write about it.

How many seconds in one year?

To uncover the truth of how many seconds are in a year, we need to concentrate on numbers. Physics will work here neither chemistry nor biology. Simple just use numbers with a trick to find out the truth.

There are 12 months in a year. Focus on number 12,,,, alright?. However, not every month has the same number of days in it. It varies from 28 to 31. So firstly, calculate the number of days in 12 months (by just adding the number of days of each month).
And the answer is,

365 if we consider February, a month of 28 days (Non-leap year).

And

366 if we consider February, a month of 29 days (leap year).

Now, a single day consist of 24 hours, and 60 minutes are in an hour and single minute consists 60 seconds, clear? that's it.
Now, all we have to do is just multiply these numbers to reach the truth of how many seconds are in a year.

365×24×60×60 = 31,536,000 seconds in a year of 365 days (Non-leap year).

And

366×24×60×60 = 31,622,400 seconds in a year of 366 days (leap year).

Calculate your current age in seconds.

I was born in August 2003, and now I am 22 years old. According to research, there are 7 leap years in the duration of 2003 to 2024. These years are 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024.

The seconds we calculated earlier of a leap year is 31,622,400 and if we multiply this with the number 7 then we get
31,622,400 × 7 = 221,356,800 seconds

Now, the remaining years are 15 (non-leap years)
Multiply the seconds (we got above) of the non-leap year by 15 and the answer will be:
31,536,000 × 15 = 473,040,000 seconds.

Now add both the answers to find my current age in seconds.
221,356,800 + 473,040,000 = 694,396,800 seconds.

Which is the world's smallest country?

The results of this question shocked me when I came to know how much mini country is present in the current world, in terms of land area and population.

Vatican City

The smallest country present in this world is Vatican City, which is an independent state situated in the heart of Rome. The total area of land is 49 ha, which is equivalent to 0.18919 square miles.

The smallest country in terms of population is also Vatican City, with a total number of 800 citizens in it. In Vatican City, Christianity is the official religion, and it is a non-democratic country.

Inviting @shezikhan , @chabdullah085 and @five5 to participate in it.
