Start with the number of days in a week, multiply by the number of legs on a giraffe, add the number of months in a year, subtract the number of sides on a die from a Monopoly game, add the number of ounces in a pound, divide by the number of toes on a human foot, add the number of days in the month of September, divide by the number of faces on Mount Rushmore, add the number of legs on an octopus, and subtract the number of dimes in a dollar.
