Title: Double or nothing!
Post by: Cindy on February 07, 2014, 08:34:35 AM
I thought this was silly, but it begins to fascinate me how it will work out.
And yes you can tell I can't sleep again :laugh:

Double the number that the person posted before you.

I of course start at

When dealing with very large numbers, Catherine has used humor to describe them.  However, "sextillions" are still a meaningful quantity with a very real example.  The numbers of stars in the universe are measure in sextillions.

The current estimate is about 278 or 300 sextillion
