This is how i did it

var secondsPerMin = 60;

var minPerHour = 60;

var hoursPerDay = 24;

var daysPerWeek = 7;

var weeksPerYear = 52;

var secondsPerDay = secondsPerMin * minPerHour * hoursPerDay;

var yearsAlive = 18;

var secondsPerWeek = secondsPerDay * 7;

var secondsPerYear = secondsPerWeek * 52;

var secondsILived = secondsPerYear * yearsAlive;

document.write(secondsILived);

Hey Horatiu,

The logic seems right, I personally combined your lines 8 & 9 by creating a daysPerYear with my secondsAlive formula looking like this;

var secondsAlive = secondsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay * daysPerYear * yearsAlive;

why not use this: var secondsAlive = ' been alive for ' + (secondPerDay * 365) * 21 + ' seconds';
