Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Well one AU is traversed by light over 8.3 minutes. So, there being, usually, 525,600 minutes in a year, that's 63,325 AU's in a year, dividing an approximate 2,000,000 by that, we get 31.5 which, keeping our rounding consistent, is 32.As for why it's the funniest number....
