You Were the Youngest Person On Earth

A friend of ours had a kid today. It occurred to me that at least for a moment the baby was the youngest human on earth. Then of course I wondered how long he was the youngest... So... here you go.

The earth's population produces a grand total of 131.4 million babies a year.

There are 365.2422 days in a year. That's 8,765.813 hours, or 525,948.77 minutes, or 31,556,926 seconds.

(31,556,926 seconds) / (131,400,000 people) = 0.240 seconds.

So in case you were wondering, you were the youngest person on earth for just under a quarter of a second. Congratulations!
