    You're right about the in/mi, but there are 52 weeks in a year. Doesn't change the answer but I thought you should know.

    edit: Oh yeah, and then there are leap years as well. It works out to 52,178 weeks in 1000 years.

    NEXT RIDDLE:

    A word I know,
    Six letter it contains,

    Please do not let it happen again!!!

    NEXT RIDDLE:

    The more you take, the more you leave behind. What are they?
    steps?


    ...or did you mean (behind=butt), in that case the more (fatty) food you take, the more you leave behind (the bigger your butt gets)?
