A Facebook Challenge
I recently stumbled upon the following challenge on Facebook.
Puzzle. Type the number of seconds in a week using the smallest number of characters.
I lied. The challenge was to type the same number using the smallest number of clicks on a computer keyboard. There is a slight difference, and I like my version better.

One of my students suggested that if seconds refer to an additional helping of food, the number of characters could be 1.
