Sorry! I read the problem incorrectly last night. I did not notice the word "ago". I was trying to count forward from the beginnning of the earth, not backwards from now.
Here is what I came up with today:

From Oct 11, 1492 until January 31, 2008 is 515.3066 years.
Since 1 second equals 57,870.37 years, you divide 515.3066 by 57,870.37.
The answer I got is .0089044 of a second.
If you round it up to hundredths it is 1 hundredth of a second!
