My 4yo boy was asking questions about numbers so I happened upon a website to calculate how long it would take a person to count to 1 million. Do you know which (positive integer) number under 1 million has the most syllables? Can't say I'd ever thought about it, but now I know. Based upon the calculations, it would take me, with 3 hours sleep per night (I'd want to commit), 26 days.

I would guess 777,777 for the most syllables.

Definitely a worthy shout. 16min of pure cycling decent.

Imagine how much faster he'd have gone if he tied his hair back.

Or adopt Chris Froome's sitting on seatube and pedalling madness.

I'm assuming at those speeds tiny aero gains would be more beneficial than peddling like a hummingbird on the top tube, but who knows.

Just can't believe how detailed the imagery is here from the 1960's for f**k sake. The images, the close up camerawork, the helicopter shots. Today's F1 coverage of Monaco has nothing close to this.

Would love to know what would happen if Ali C tried this trick with his cat.
