> It takes him 17 hours to say a 3-syllable phrase 100k times. Expanding, it would take 468 hours, or 19.5 days to recite this prime. How do you figure? Let’s assume that a syllable equals saying the number 1, that’s 300,000 digits per 17 hours. 82,589,933 / 300k = ~275.3. 275 * 17hrs = 4,675hrs. That’s about 195 days, an order of magnitude higher. I timed myself saying 1 at a clearly enunciated pace of about 180/min (could go faster, but wanted to see a reasonable speed clearly understandable). That would take about 90% of a year to do.
