Question: Six particles in a container can move in only one of six directions: up, down, left, right, forward, and backward. If the particles move randomly

Six particles in a container can move in only one of six directions: up, down, left, right, forward, and backward. If the particles move randomly such that each collides and changes direction every \(1.0 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~s}\), for how many seconds during a \(24-\mathrm{h}\) day are all six particles moving in the same direction?
