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! |

 Way to go! All I could come up with was that it was >1 second to midnight ago that Columbus did his thing. I blew a brain gasket somewhere, and no way could I figure out how to get just exactly how much > a second it was.(when you think about it, in the whole history of this Earth, I guess that Columbus setting sail did only happen in a blink of an eye ago...you know?  )Anyway....it was kinda neat to have something to excerise the grey matter with. Thanks Amber for needing the help and asking for it.  ((Hugs)) Jose
