• SteveJobs-1

  just saw a shirt that said 247365. it's a common saying, but..

  instead of 247365 (24x7x365)
  shouldn't it be 24752 (24x7x52)?

  24 = hours, 7 = days, 365 = days
  24 = hours, 7 = days, 52 = weeks

  • Really the 7 is redundant

  • you forgot 1006060 at the front. 100ms, 60 seconds and 60 minutes...shapesalad

  • Shouldn't you Yanks shuffle the units around? 724365? 736524?i_monk
  • well yes it's kind of redundant but 24x7 is a common expression and gives the 3 values context. so my solution retains context and avoids redundancySteveJobs

  • 365 means no holidays. Combines with 24-7 you’re saying “we never stop”monospaced

  • I agree with mono, mindsets. 24/7 always on, 365 no holidays. syntax & cadence play a big part, too. 24/7 365 fits a basic 4/4 beat better than the rest. #kmfdmimbecile
