An infinite period of time.
Let p = probability that you miss a step (remember you are counting down). It's much harder to count down since it requires much more concentration.
P(making no errors) = (1-p)^100000
Even if p = 0.0001, P(making no errors) = 0.00005
And no one is that good that p is so small. It is virtually impossible to not make an error.
Therefore the expected period of time to perform such an operation successfully is infinitely high.

i think it would take 100,000 seconds, or it might take longer, if you start to slack off!
