Day 15: Billie Is Discovered and Returned to Logitech

Filed: Billie

After a whirlwind two weeks traveling the globe, a lost Billie was finally discovered and returned to Logitech. He is now on a plane home so he can be reunited with his owner, Jerry Quindlen, CEO of Logitech.

Billie Flies In

To help with our efforts to find Billie, our office in Switzerland organized a contest offering 5000 CHF and 500 CHF worth of Logitech products to the Swiss resident who found Billie at the Media Markt in Crissier, just 20 kilometers from the little farm in the village of Apples where Logitech was founded in 1981. We are very grateful to Mr. Antonio Pé-Curto from Prilly in the canton of Vaud for helping us find Billie! Mr. Pé-Curto said, “I’m very happy; I thought this kind of thing always happened to someone else!” He’ll be choosing the Logitech products this afternoon with his son at Media Markt.

Valsecchi Preisig Pe-Curto Renggli

Present at the prize-giving were Antoine Preisig, vice president sales and marketing for Logitech EMEA, Gabriele Valsecchi, country manager for Logitech Suisse, Guido Renggli, CEO Media Markt en Suisse, Thierry Desponds, director Media Markt Crissier and Walter Strauch, IT team leader Media Markt Crissier.

Our final question for our online contest is posted below. Good luck!

Q: On average, how many mice does Logitech manufacture each day? If Logitech were to continue to manufacture mice at that rate, in what year would the company reach its 2 billionth mouse milestone?

Q: Wann würde Logitech die 2-Milliarden-Marke erreichen, wenn das Unternehmen weiterhin mit derselben Geschwindigkeit Mäuse herstellt?

Q: Si Logitech continue à produire des souris à cette cadence, en quelle année le nombre de souris produites atteindra-t-il 2 milliards?

Q: Se Logitech continuasse a produrre mouse a questo ritmo, in quale anno l’azienda raggiungerebbe la pietra miliare del secondo miliardesimo mouse?

Q: Si Logitech sigue fabricando ratones a este ritmo, ¿en qué año llegará la empresa a fabricar el ratón número dos mil millones?

The grand prize for today’s question is: A collection of Logitech products with a total value of approximately $1000 USD.

The answer to yesterday’s question (Who are Logitech’s founders?) is: Daniel Borel, Pierluigi Zappacosta and Giacomo Marini

Logitech manufactures, on average, 376,000 mice per day.
At that rate, Logitech would reach its 2 billionth mouse milestone in 2019.

376,000 mice each day
for 2 billion it would take another 2660 days — i.e. year 2016

 

kenny | December 18th, 2008 at 6:59 am

376,000 mice a day and year is 2016.

 

Ray Cornwall | December 18th, 2008 at 7:10 am

Logitech produces 376,000 mice per day. At that rate, Logitech would create it’s 2 billionth mouse in early 2016. (7.28 years)

 

Nicola | December 18th, 2008 at 7:14 am

Logitech manifactures an average of 376,000 mice per day.
If Logitech were to continue to manufacture mice at that rate, working every day of the year the 2 billionth mouse will be manufactured within 7 years (2015).

The average per day is 376,000. Continuing at that rate, Logitech would reach it’s 2 billionth milestone in the year 2015. WOW, way to go Logitech!!

 

Andy Yang | December 18th, 2008 at 7:18 am

Logitech Manufactures 376,000 mice a day, some 94 million mice per year.

At that rate, the 2 billionth mouse milestone should be achieved around 2019, but I’m sure we’ll be celebrating a lot earlier then that…

If I count from 1981, the daily average is around 100k mice, and with this average the 2 billionth mouse will be produced in 2035

 

Csilla Polgar | December 18th, 2008 at 7:31 am

The daily average is 100k mice, and with this number the 2 billionth will be made in 2035

 

Tamas Szegvari | December 18th, 2008 at 7:34 am

100k mice is product each day averagely, and the 2billionth will be made around in 2034

 

Akos Sipos | December 18th, 2008 at 7:35 am

around 100k mice are made each day. The 2 billionth will be made in 2036

 

Arnold Herceg | December 18th, 2008 at 7:38 am
