still thinking...
Ok...I'm stuck...but this is what I was doing before I got stuck. I might be totally off track....but, I don't know?
Columbus did his thing in 1492. RIght?
So, I subtaracted 1492 from 2008, and found that this happened 516 years ago.
This is real time, though...not this "all the years of history compressed into one day" time. So....now we just have to figure out what 516 years ago would be on this new time line, and then take that away from your teacher's "midnight". It is looking to me like it is just about midnight....
Hmmmm.
If I was right with the whole 57870370.37 (were you supposed to round off any answers you got?) years/second.....then Columbus just barely discovered the new world, like....not even a second ago?
ARGH! Brain cramp! ROFL. Anyway, so far that is my answer; not even a second ago, so >1 sec to midnight.
Geesh. I hope that I haven't made things about 10x more confusing then they already were....
((Hugs))
