  I still don’t get it, so… you could be worse.

    A number followed by an exclamation point means multiplying it by each whole number below it until one.

    3! = 3*2*1 = 6
5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800

    3,628,800 seconds / 60 = 60,480 minutes
    1008 hours
    42 days
    6 weeks

      6 Weeks * 7 days * 8 * 3 (24) hours * 2 * 4 * 5 * 9 * 10 (3600 = 60²) seconds

      The last one is a bit of a jump, but 94 is 36 and 105*2 is 100 so together it’s 3600.

    10! means ten factorial. So 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1.

    It’s a common math joke.

  It’s not typeset correctly or it would have been obvious and ruined the joke.

  Me too. It’s even there in the title I didn’t read at first. I thought it was about them having just 10 seconds left.
