Yes, we had - your question inspired it directly. Thanks.

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.

1st part: Nineteen. Four letters consisting of N, I, E and T. Just using those four multiple times.

Not sure on the 2nd part yet. I keep coming up with ten.

Using the same logic as Deity I came up with 'google' for the first part. :D

I have to give you a point for that - it's just too good a find aven though it's not what I was looking for.

I think the proper spelling is "Googol". And that would come out as 3 letters.

How about "Nonillion" for the 4 letter one.

Googol = 3 points

Nonillion = 3 points also, but that is not what I was looking for either - although it fits the profile perfectly. I didn't expect that...

Damn you to hell for for this one...

I won't mention the quantities of alcohol and pain killers used to ease the pain in my head from this one, but I'll give it a shot.

21866 refers to February of 1866. In this month, there was no full moon. January and March had two full moons, the second is referred to as a blue moon. Not before 2,500,000 years will this event repeat itself.

I'm just kidding - that's exactly it. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif

It's a shame it was only worth 3 points, considering the complexity of it. :p

Nonillion. Nice answer. 10^30. I hadn't even thought of that. Give the man a trophy.

Ed- nice find. The original wording was much easier. You can thank Adept for the added difficulty.

I must admit he's pretty smart for a probing, cattle-snatching greyskin. :D

PS - First part of 103 can still be answered. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

If you have any more like that Kymera, please PM them. Those were great.

It's an extra point for you every time I use one.
