THE COST OF GOOGLE'S BUCKMINSTERFULLERENE

Today Google is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the finding of the Buckminsterfullerene. And to celebrate it, they decided to make a funny and entertaining interactive logo (also known as "doodle").

They changed one of the "o" from "Google" by a  Buckminsterfullerene that you can move with your mouse. It is really entertaining, so entertaining that I found myself playing with it for over 2 minutes.

Then it came to my mind... what if I am at work and I loose that time playing with google's logo? 

Let's make some numbers: Google receives about 8.172.420 visits per day. Consider that the half of that visits come from people at work: 4.086.210 visits per day at work. 

From that amount of visits per day from work, let's say that the mean time spent playing with the logo is about 1 minute (there is people that procrastinates more than other :P). 

If the mean salary for a worker is 20€ per hour, that means that he earns 0,33€ per minute.

Now the compute is easy:  4.086.210 visits per day * 0.33€ per visit = 1.362.070€

So thanks to Google and the procrastination will of the workers the total cost of the buckminsterfullerene's celebration could be 1,3 Million euro.

Of course I'm just kidding ;)
