Question 157 - RESOLVED

Scheming Suzie explained to her father that she would not be attending school anymore.

She said she had been doing some figuring and found that she just didn't have the time for classes.

She reasoned, "I sleep eight hours a day and that totals 2,920 hours or 122 days a year. Saturdays and Sundays add up to 104 days in a year. If I allow three hours a day for meals, that comes to 45 days a year. The summer holidays add up to 60 days and if I allow just two hours a day for TV and recreation, this amounts to an additional 30 days.
If I add all these days, they total 361 and that's not including Christmas, Easter and the other holidays we get."

What is the flaw in Suzie's reasoning?

__________
She's doubling up time. With sixty days of summer, she didn’t subtract sleeping and eating, and what not from the prior totals.

It's like an F1 race where Michael has pulled ahead and all the other, very much talented, drivers battle it out for a place on the podium. :D

She does not factor in leap year.
