Instructions

START - Start counting STOP - Stop counting ZERO - Reset the counters to 0 SPACE - Right arrow to step count one by one Use "Turbo Mode" to count faster (SHIFT + FLAG)

Description

Experiment: Switch to Turbo Mode then measure how long the binary counter takes to reach one million (in decimal). Then, post your time (and browser) in the comments. On my device, it takes 23 s (Firefox), 9.5 s (Safari & Chrome). Using Firefox, to get to one billion, it would take about 6 hours, 38 minutes. It would take about 276 days, 9 hours to count to one trillion. And, it would take 757 years, 83 days, 21 hours to count to one quadrillion.
