Zoo confirmed that no such position exists. I'm fun at parties.

It is also basic logic that those numbers don't add up. 24/2000 = 43 seconds. Assuming 12 hours of daylight it is down to about 20 seconds. There is not a lot you can do in 20 seconds. And certainly not pick up 32 penguins every 20 seconds for 12 hours straight.
Challenge accepted.
Also, according to QI, apparently the penguins falling over to watch planes is a myth too.
