    Your question does not make any sense. Are we to assume that the cookie monster takes one hour to cook a batch of cookies simply because you do? The cookie monster may be more efficient and your cookies may be burnt to a crisp after one hour.

    In five years there must be at least one leap year; however, if you started in a leap year then the fifth year would also be a leap year. If you started on 1st March, the extra day in the first leap year would be irrelevant.

    Irrespective of the number of days in a year, 15 ovens working 24 hours a day for five years cannot complete 6 million batches as with two leap years 15 x 24 x (366 + 365 + 365 + 365 + 366) = 657720.

    The cookie monster, using 15 ovens 24 hours a day, would take 16666 days and 16 hours to complete 6 million batches. As that is over 45 years there are at least 10 leap years. If you started today (18th December 2021, 3pm) it would be 45 years 230 days and 16 hours. That would be 6th August 2067.

    I am not ‘overthinking’ it at all. I spent a massive 30 seconds calculating that it would be 6th August 2067 by adding 16,666 days to today using a date calculation program and then adding 16 hours to the original answer of 5th August.

    Nearly thirty odd years working in IT and it is amazing how often I find that giving the correct information to a machine that is 100 per cent mathematically accurate is quicker than doing it by hand. And I was a straight A maths student...

    As I said you over thinking it. The cookie monster just opened more ovens and it was done in 3 days.
    0 years in IT and I figured it out in 0.01 seconds

    PS you have a big mistake in your calculations

    Garth Menzies, the Conservative MP for Tatterswick, has admitted to scowling at children, including toddlers and babies. Menzies, 51, is a father of six but readily admits to disliking youngsters. 'They rub me up the wrong way, with their snotty noses and stupid shoes,' he remarked in 2017 in an interview with The Telegraph.

    Horrible git.

    He could try telling the truth for once. That might work.
