 CONT: When Bugs Bunny quietly sneaks a piece of coal into Crachits  workroom, Scrooge is counting his money and reaches 5,887. Bugs  Bunny leaves, and Scrooges cat notices a piece of coal missing from  the fire. When he makes Scrooge lose count, Scrooge had just counted  5,889. There is a gap of over fifteen seconds between this and  Scrooge counting 5,887. During this time, Scrooge would have  exceeded 5,900.
