The 1st 4 moves in a chess game can be played in 197299 totally different ways. If it takes 30 seconds to make one move, how long would it take one player to try every possible set of 4 moves?


PM ANSWERS ONLY and 1 ANSWER ONLY

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU POST ON THIS THREAD AFTER YOU HAVE PM'D ME OR ELSE YOU WON'T GET YOUR REP POINTS!....... :spank:


Please read the rules Question of the day ? - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum



Also, rep points can't always be applied straight away - limits on the site - but all should be updated by the Sunday after the QOTD :D
