The original question 102 was vague and obtuse.

I've added the word "years" to make it clearer.

Your answer was wrong.

Does that answer your question?

As Kymera and yourself were the only ones to actually answer anything today, that would make your opponents...

I think people are nervous about approaching a topic with 47 pages.

Last hint before the weekend:

11866 and 31866 had double their usual share.

Question 102 is still unanswered... but here's another, just because.

It's another one from Kymera, so you know it will be a challenge. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif


Using 4 letters, what is the largest number you can write?

And another one, from me:

Using 3 letters, what is the largest number you can write?

Both parts of this question are worth 3 points each.


__________
Mole (Avogadro's number).
Other possible answers: Nonillion, Skewe, Alef

3 letters: Googol

Since ed's already got so many bases covered, I'll just go with a simple answer.

4 letters: NINE
3 letters: TEN

Do you accept answers in Spanish?

4 letters: CIEN
3 letters: MIL

I've had too much coffee and too much time !
I'm still stumped on the other one so will you use your powers to pull up the answer please ?

Think I know the answer to the other question, but I think we discussed it earlier Adept.

BTW, that's a nasty hint.

Sorry guys, none of those are good.

The words are in english, and recognized as common names for numbers, so no hexadecimal here. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif


Hint for 102: Already naturally numerically-challenged, this event made it even more so by entirely foregoing a regular and expected appearance.
