My initial guess is as follows: binary code will render 2 possible digits, either 0 or 1. If there are 32 digits with two possible outcomes per digit then you will find the answer by calculating 2 to the 32nd power. The answer I got was 4294967296 seconds.

Edit: The maximum number which can be represented by a binary string is always 2^n where n is the number of bits in the string.
