60 minutes in an hour

60 x 24 = 1,440 minutes in a day

1,440 x 365 = 525,600 minutes in a year

525,600 x 72 = 37,843,200 minutes in 72 years

but wait - every 4th year is a leap year

72/4 = 18 leap years (each with one extra day)

18 x 1,440 = 25,920 extra minutes

37,843,200 + 25,920 = 37,869,120

37,869,120 minutes in 72 years.

The boys who run the Navy's atomic clocks might quibble, but that is the answer based on my wristwatch!
