        JAMB QUESTION- 100MARKS. Calculate how long it will take a snake to swallow 36,000,000 Naira. If the Bank notes are either in 100, 200 or 500 denomination and tabulate the chances of the snakes survival using the APC formula.

        According to vcahospital, a larger snake eats once a week, so if the snake eat in N500s(25,000) per week. Thus 36,000,000/25,000=1,440weeks/48. So it will take 30years for the snake to fish 36m.but since it is 9ja human snake..it will take less than a year to finish 36m naira

        See how we are being disgraced by the int'l media. 20 ppl are fighting over N45M in the #BBNaija house. While one 'snake' swallows 80% of the prize (N36M) in Benue. I want to own a #JAMBSnake @NigeriaSnakehttps://twitter.com/BBCAfrica/status/963047650219216897 …

        The other time, rats chased Nigerian president Buhari out of office, also ate the budget. It's not new in this part of the world.
