Say he averages one number every three seconds (lets face it, 752,193 is going to take some time to say), that makes it at 1200 numbers per hour. It'll take him 833 hours. And if he counts about 12 hours/day, it'll take him a bit over two months. So lets just check back in three months and see if that guy replaced himself by a hacked version of the speak and spell.

This will takes days. If it takes on average 2 seconds to say a number (e.g., a number like 277,777), thats 2 million seconds. Non-stop, that's about 24 days. If 1/3 of time is spent on breaks, then it's going to take almost a month ...

In this day in age it's quite difficult to lower the bar, but alas, someone found a way to do it.

He just hit 50,000, took a shot of something, did some stupid dance and then took a phone call.

What a miserable publicity stunt. I'd lose my mind by 100K. No thanks.

Has anyone ever done this? Count to a million? How long (confirmed time) does it take?

He did this because he's a huge slacker and doesn't want to work. The problem is he'll never finish because he's such a huge slacker and it's too much work :p

It's going to take him approx 12 weeks to count to 1 million at his current rate

Yep. I bet he'll make a couple bucks off this.
