Two billion, nine hundred ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine
Two billion, nine hundred ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine⦠We celebrated with cake pops in the shape of a big 3, making the day all the sweeter Todayâs an exciting day for us together weâve just hit the 3 billionth problem answered on Khan Academy! We asked Sal what he thought of this, and he said, Personally, I donât know what all the fuss is about. Iâm waiting for us to hit 3 141 592 653 problems solved before I get really excited.â Can you help us get to pi billion?! The rate at which everyone is learning on Khan Academy is astounding: it took less than a year to grow from 2 billion to 3 billion problems answered! Way to go! And just how big is 3 billion, exactly? We did some digging If you had a measuring tape that was 3 billion inches long, it would wrap around the world twice. If you traveled a mile for every problem thatâs been answered, youâd almost be at Pluto. If you went back in time 3 billion minutes, itâd be the 37th century B.C.E., a thousand years before the Egyptian pyramids were built. Whoa, thatâs a lot of learning. So⦠how quickly can we get to 4 billion? Letâs go!
