That Time I Said Prime Numbers For 3 Hours

Have you seen the video where I count by prime numbers for 3 hours? Well, that video is take two. Yeah, here’s what happened. The first time I did it, the guy whose job was to stop me after 3 hours read the clock wrong, and I was stopped after 2 hours and 59 minutes. When I found out, I was like, "What? 259? Everyone’s going to wonder why I didn’t just go for 3 hours."

It’s going to be so distracting! If you had stopped me after, I don’t know, 257, at least that’s a prime number. I considered cheating and, like, editing the video by isolating the clock and speeding it up just enough to make it look like I did it for 3 hours. But at the end of the day, I said no, I’m going to do it again.

So I went in to the office on the weekend. I brought Jake Rooper with me, a very precise fellow, and he started and stopped me. We decided, let’s even be funny this time. Let’s start at 12:31 and end at 3:31. Those are both prime numbers, and it worked!

I’m so glad I did it again because it shows my commitment to my core three principles. We all need to be accurate, we all need to be honest, and we all need to sometimes do things that are a huge waste of time.
