Depends...
• Do we include time loading/unloading them from containers? Or can we assume there will be a constant pile in front of us?
• Can we assume there are only pennies, (no stray dimes or foreign pennies in the mix.)
• Are we allowed any (non automated) tools, for example those commercially available tubes that "measure" out 50 pennies (for coin rolling.)
Working with the first two items, I counted off 100 pennies in about 35 seconds. With practice, let's say I can get it down to an even 30 seconds. Assuming:
• no rest breaks
• I don't lose count
• an IV-drip of Red Bull
(10000 sets of a hundred pennies)
x (30 seconds)
/ (60 seconds per minute)
/ (60 minutes per hour)
/ (24 hours per day)
= approximately 3.47 days

A rat can final longer without water than a camel. Your abdomen has to offer a sparkling layer of mucus each and every 2 weeks, otherwise it extremely is going to digest itself. The assertion of Independence (the very respected replica interior the Rotunda of the nationwide records) is written on parchment, no longer paper. The dot over the letter 'i' is asserted as a tittle. A raisin dropped in a sparkling glass of soda will bounce up and down consistently from the backside of the glass to the desirable. a woman ferret will die if it is going into warmth and can't come across a mate.

you count hundred piece of pennies, then try to weigh them i think it will not take you a long time to know how much it will be. usually the weight of the metal is almost the same except for small difference.

11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds if you counted one every second.
otherwise there is probably a trick to the question that i am not getting.

if u are counting them alone and u don't stop until u finish then you will need 1 000 000 seconds = 1 000 000/60 = 16 666 min (/60) = 277 hours (/24) = 11 days and a half

I get 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds if you count one per second. If you want to take breaks 'n such, that's your business.
And it's one *helluva* lot longer than my 2'nd ex-wife would have taken to spend it ☺

It depends upon the speed of the people counting, and the no. of people involved....
