        A number followed by an exclamation point means multiplying it by each whole number below it until one.

        3! = 3*2*1 = 6
        5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
        10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800

        3,628,800 seconds / 60 = 60,480 minutes

          6 Weeks * 7 days * 8 * 3 (24) hours * 2 * 4 * 5 * 9 * 10 (3600 = 60²) seconds

          The last one is a bit of a jump, but 9 * 4 is 36 and 10 * 5 * 2 is 100 so together it’s 3600.

        10! means ten factorial. So 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1.

        It’s a common math joke.

      Me too. It’s even there in the title I didn’t read at first. I thought it was about them having just 10 seconds left.
