From Adam:
Franklin's friend had taken an item from him, and put it in his family's safe, when franklin went to retrieve it he came to a combination lock on the safe, with the dial numbers going from 0 to 59. Unfortunately, he wasn't sure whether there were three or four numbers in the combination, or even which direction to turn the wheel
If it takes him 15 seconds to try a single combination, how many days will it take him to to try every possible combination? Please round to the nearest day.
