24. If you said 12 for January 2nd, February 2nd, etc that’s close, but you forgot about January 22nd, February 22nd and so on. If you are a math whiz and didn’t need a calculator to perform 60 x 60 x 24 x 365, then 31,536,000 works too. If you used 365.25 to account for leap year, then you are a human calculator, but even that’s not entirely accurate due to the leap second. And even accounting for that, it’s only an approximation that there are 365.2422 days in a year.
Could you show your work? I’m not sure where you got that number. If you did the calculation, it would be:
60 (seconds in a minute) x 60 (minutes in an hour) x 24 (hours in a day) x 365 (days in a year) = 31556900, but that doesn’t take into account leap year, or the leap second that’s added once in a while. 365.242 would be closer to the number of days in a year, but I don’t think it’s precise.
But all that aside, this isn’t the answer. Think less of calculations.
Warren a light year isn’t a measurement of time, it’s a measurement of distance, because of the finite speed light travels at, a light year is the distance that light travels in a year not the time it takes to travel
Umm January 2 January 22 February 2 February 22 March 2 March 22 April 2 April 22 May 2 may22 June 2 June 22 July 2 July 22 August 2 August 22 September 2 September 22 October 2 October 22 November 2 November 22 December 2 December 22
All of these answers are correct. There are 31,536,000 seconds in a standard year, 31,622,400 seconds in a leap year, approximately 31,556,909 seconds in a solar year. There are also 12 2nd’s (as in dates) in a year, if you choose to count a 22nd as a second (pretty weak, but technically accurate) then there are 24. Just because the questioner had a different response in mind does not change the fact that ALL of the above answers are correct.

How about the second of every month as well as the 22nd of every month adding up to 24 seconds

How many seconds are there in a year?
31,556,926 seconds or 186000 miles x 31,556,926 seconds = one light-year.

1yr = 365days, 1day = 24hrs, 1hr = 60minutes, 1minute = 60seconds, .’. 60*60 = 3600 = 24*3600 = 86400, 365days = 86400*365 = 31 536000seconds
