Which is only 28 hours at 10kpps:

        1042284544/(10*1000)/3600 = 28.95234

bit less likely admittedly.

From my original post: "at 10K pps it would still take ~29 hours on average". (I consider "28.95" closer to 29 than 28, but that's me.)

So I would say we are in agreement.  Thanx for checking my math.

P.S. It is really nice for everyone to keep agreeing with me. :)
