good one!
cool
3,024,000 seconds in a normal year and 3,110,400 in a leap year: just to get technical :-P
I've heard that one before, but I forgot the answer. But anyway, very clever!

hey! why'd you call my riddle stupid? And why do you want to read it, if you're just going to criticize it?
Not what I expected in the answer.
Good riddle. very clever.
There are no seconds in a year if you consider letters
Very good!!
nice teaser..... i've heard it before though... that's the only reason i figured out the real seconds 31,536,000 60*60*24*365 sorry boredom rules my life right now
and comet sorry to say i don't know what you did..... you must have skipped a step.... or i'm just not reading something right..... either way oh well
actually Comet there are also 'leap seconds'. I dont recall exactly how they are counted, but every four years we get an extra day and a few odd seconds.
This is a very interesting + clever trick. I like it alot. Great Job!
I suppose it could be much more than 12, if you considered January twenty SECOND, thirty SECOND, and so on and so on

Pix_e_suhst u got a gd point! The riddle is v gd tho!! Oh and comet16 the fact it's in the trick category=¬p?!?!?!!
=¬D
=¬D
i got both answers u could do it by the 2nds in each month or you could say that there are 31,536,000. unless it was a leap year
Pix_e_suhst i hate to be rude but i never heard of a month having um...32 days in it :-( sorry to b contradictive of your good answer pweez dont eat me ....
I like it it's cool! Pix_e_suhst's answer could also work. I'm not sure about the thirty-second day thou . Lol. Keep up the good work!
yeah i wasn't sure if it was going to be 12 (for the 2nd of the month) or 24 (if you include the 22nd of the month)
librashorty who are you talking to? no one called it stupid
What month has a 32nd?
haha j/k
But I answered 24 thinking of all the 22nds
haha j/k
But I answered 24 thinking of all the 22nds
Easy
I thought it was every second letter in "A-Y-E-A-R" which would be 3. Good job though!
