attach the cubes with a face on another some way. now it is a single cuboidal block . now throwing the block will reveal a number on top of marked dice.
label the unmarked dice with 12-number appeared on dice. repeat. the most distinct opposite faces ,and nearest faces of the dice follow the same rule.

no. of seconds in a day                             =[ 60  *   60 ]  *24   =                     3600   *   24
no. of hours in  10 years                          =                                    (365*8  + 366*2)   *   24
second is visibly larger .

the question reveals the answer. 9

X= (x-1)……(x-100)…..(x-a)……(x-z)
here ,
x can be a whole number or rational or irrational or even unreal number ,,  and  ,, the same can be said for the ‘ a’, ‘ b ‘, ‘ c ‘,’ d ‘  … ‘ z ‘ .  as I am not bound by any type of restriction to think of a particular group of  values of x.
since,         X= (x-1)……(x-100)…..(x-a)……(x-z)
=>         X={  (x-1)  .  (x-2)  .  … . (x-100) . …}{ (x-a) . (x-b) . … . ( x-z ) }
=>         X={ A } . { B }
Case1:     for A,      1) if x is Whole no. , then A=0 .  2) x is Real but not Whole no. , then  A is not 0 .
Case2:     for B,      1) if x= Real or Unreal ,but  x= a or b or … or z   , then B=0   2) x and a,b,c…z are nowhere near each other in the family(say x is Whole or a is Rational etc) or in their family set( say x and abc..z are rational but way different in values) then, B is not 0.
from above we can conclude that,
X=0 ,,,,  for Case1.1) and Case2.1)  (atleast)
but not  X=0 many possiblities.

the first half burns in 20min. and other half in 40 min. ,
consider this as the rope,(    ‘  =  ‘  is the rope part  ,    ‘ D ‘ is an end point  ‘ H ‘ is a joint)
0================================0
now  bring the two ends together,
================D
H
================D
now again bring the ends at left and right together,
========D

now light  one of the  D ends and wait  for the flame to burn the first H . fifteen minutes are over by then.

large number of people entered the lift, the lift started, the lift cable snapped—
now, during this free-fall, everything in the lift is weight-less, just like in space, you can float around and all…we have no time for this fun…start struggling  to get to the ceiling  of the lift and make sure that there are large number of people exactly below you…now hold the positions…note that the sudden halt of the lift will bring everything on the floor, pushing them against the floor with  large instantaneous force and the rest that are above the floor  will crush anything on the floor. you managed to get on the top,with other fellas below you, on reaching the ground you will not be crushed and also the people you will crush will act as a kind of shock-absorb further reducing the force you might have felt. hence you survive.(sounds selfish but will help, given you time everything correctly) .
