The little yellow eating machine ate aproximately 4.8 million hours worth of productivity when Google released the playable pac-man header in honour of the video game’s 30 anniversary last Friday !
Geeks and their nifty tools have discovered that the average google visit on Friday was 36 seconds longer than usual. Once the math is done, that equates to something in the neighborhood of a whole lotta time!

Now, check this out:
Rescue Time used Wolfram Alpha data for Google traffic on Sunday, which reached 504 million unique views. Assuming that the userbase is representative, Rescue Time concluded that Google’s Pac-Mac consumed 4.8 million hours of users’ time beyond the 33.6 million daily man hours of attention that Google Search gets every day.
Assuming each Google user had a cost of $25 per hour, that means a loss of $120 million.
“For that same cost, you could hire all 19,835 Google employees, from Larry and Sergey down to their janitors, and get six weeks of their time. Imagine what you could build with that army of man power,” Wright wrote.
