I don't actually have the official answer, but if I were the warden, I'd make it 3155673599 (365.24*100*24*60*60-1) since you'd start with all zeros. Either way, you'd be able to get the combination with a few guesses even if the number of leap years were varied for that specific year. Also, TLD, where did you get your number of days in a year? That's way more accuracy than you'd see in a century. Yeah, that’s the gist of it.

But wouldn't it depend on how many leap years were in this 100 yr span? I calculated: 100 * 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 = 3155760000 Yes, I agree, some number around there.
