To find the time it would take to go through all 331,776 possibilities at a rate of one move per two seconds, you divide the total possibilities by the moves per second (331,776 / (1/2)) to get the total seconds required, which is 663,552 seconds. Converting this into days, hours, minutes, and seconds gives you 7 days, 16 hours, 19 minutes, and 12 seconds.
