If the average Canadian watch 24 hours TV per week. Can they watch 1,000,000 hrs TV in a life time??

Please explain your answer?

I say no and my calculation is 24 x 52 x 100. My son said, wrong answer Help!

I believe it is a trick question since it is not about one individual but all currently living Canadians. The answer asked if "they" can watch a million hours in a life time and the answer to that is yes.

The answer Kas2 give was actually the right answer. A person (canadian) will have to live upto 801 years to watch 1,000,000 hours of television. So the answer is no, just my theory wasn't the right one.

If it was not a trick question then it was framed poorly. As Andre noted it could go both ways since the pronoun "they" is not singular and is not a proper referent for "the average Canadian".

I didn't see your attempted goat mouth.
