I just checked my most recent bank slip so I can confirm that the two prior posts are trillions.

(joking of course, better question would be what does seven dollars and twenty cents look like...)

I sure hope econ is not your major.

Like I said, spend spend spend.

1 million = 1,000,000.00
1 billion = 1,000,000,000.00
1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000.00

Andrew Majer wins

What do I win?

By Bluegill (Bluegill) on Friday, October 26, 2001 - 05:45 pm: Edit

a trillion has more zeros than a Star Trek convention.

Marketing and Admin? Just what the hell does that REALLY mean? Kind of like all those poli-sci majors. WTF is that all about?

don't mean to break your balls, just screwin around till the whistle blows in a few hours...

Hey... I resemble that remark! I majored in Poli-sci. Best major on campus, didn't interfer w/ my social life (read: drinking) even once. After school I was able to present my degree and buy coffee for $.50, try that w/ any other degree.

Yeah pretty useless unless you go to law school, glad I got in... but that did get in the way of my drinking.

Then its a quadrillion, and pentillion, and a sexillion. Not sure of the spelling of that last one, but hey, thats a lot of back-spring testing!

As Everett Dirksen once said, "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon we're talking about serious money."

OK, I'm a geek scientist and I actually have books about math on my home bookshelf that I bought after I was done with school.

quadrillion 10^15 10^24
quintillion 10^18 10^30

----------------------------------------
googol 10^100

googolplex 10^googol = 10^(10^100)

but wait - there's more:

Ten has 1 zero

BlueGill,
You scare me.

BTW the English have reverted to the US methodology now - otherwise we could never have any billionares like you guys!

Talking abou geeks:

There are approximately 10^46 atoms in the Earth. That's ten quatuordecillion.

And about 10^89 atoms in the Universe (although I have not counted them to be sure), or about a hundred-billionth of a google.

Ah well, enough useless geektalk. and you we worried about bluegill?
