>>1007300We haven’t even gotten to the storage problem yet. Where is he supposed to put all the ingredients? Did he buy all the ingredients already, or is he going to make a run to the store while his oven is still baking, thereby risking a fire and burnt cookies? Is he really so good at math that he can figure out how many grams of flour is in a cup, so to make 6 million batches he knows to buy z number of bags so he’ll have enough flour to make every batch of cookies? Then there’s all the other ingredients, so how many fluid ounces of vanilla extract is in a teaspoon anyway? The Cookie Monster must be rich to buy all the ingredients in one shot. And a math genius to boot.
And his oven is running 24 hours a day? When does this guy sleep?! And why the 5 year time frame on his ovens? Does that mean the math problem is supposed to be 5 years or less? What if it takes six years at 24 hours a day? Is that final year to be spent with an oven running only 8 hours a day, making him take three times as long to back the last year’s worth of cookies than the other previous years?
Not to mention that he’s somehow keeping up with 15 ovens at the same time. This guy is a, well, a monster!
Ok, ok, ok. Let’s just say he makes one batch of cookies in one hour with one oven, just like you do. He needs 24 hours to make 24 batches. So, he needs 6 million hours to make 6 million batches. But he’s got 15 ovens, so we can divide and find out how many hours it takes 15 ovens to do this deed. That’s 400,000 hours. To make that into days, we have 16,666 2/3 days. Divided by 365 days in a year, and you’ll get an answer that will be wrong. You didn’t account for leap years. However, I guarantee you he’s going to need a lot more years than 5 to make 6,000,000 batches of cookies.
