If 10 grains of sand fall in an hourglass every second, then the total number of grains that fall in an hour = 10/sec x 60 sec/min x 60 min/hour = 36,000 grains per hour.

Interestingly, this is very close to the number of days in our lives if we live to be 100, i.e. 365.25 x 100 = 36,525.

Thus, the phrase "Like the sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives" spoken in every episode of the TV series "Days of Our Lives" is closer to the truth than I think the original writers realized.

What else can I help you with?
