GAME: MindTrap

I know this one!

"Tomorrow at noon"!


3 points for me! :D



BTW, Question 103 still needs an answer for the first part. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

I gave you three answers. You didn't like any of them!

You did, but those had either already been given or did not fit the required pattern. And they were wrong. So there.


More - give me more! :D

Okay, using four letters, here is the other "largest" number I can write:

NONILLION

:devil:

Waiiiiit a minute.

Has anyone answered "Four" yet? :D

Okay, I will have to admit I went back and researched to find the exact name and number of this one... but I HAD found out about it as part of a contest on Cobra's website way back when, I simply forgot what it was called.

Does this void any possible points from this answer? I will let you be the judge.

Skewe's number ( 4 letters: S - K - E - W, repeated E and S), = a number used in theories on the distribution of primes. It is approximately 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 34.

Nonillion, which is a great answer and satisfies the "word made up of four letters of any length", there is also a number that exists that has a total length of four letters. Find that one.

Nonillion had already been given - and added as a possible second answer.

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.


__________
?????
Other possible answer: Nonillion

3 letters: Googol

Kymera's proposed question still has not been officially answered yet, but I will have to take Skewe's number as valid. Hopefully Kymera's las hint will make it a bit wasier to answer now. ;)

That's another 3 for WC. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif


Sorry I missed today's game - was in a clinic for throat infection.

WTF do you mean no! Alef is countable infinity! This one is starting to hurt my head as much as the moon question.

Time for a little medicine... :drink:

And you promised us another question yesterday at noon. I waited, and I waited!!!! :sad:

I have another answer to this one.

"MY IQ" :D

On second thought, maybe that's the SMALLEST number I can write with four letters... :sad:

I'm still waiting for him to say "April Fools!" for saying no to my alef answer. :sad:

If I did my sums right that comes to 64 000 000 000 but I aint good with powers...

M is 1,000.

V

Larger numbers were indicated by putting a horizontal line over them, which meant to multiply the number by 1,000. Hence the V at left has a line over the top, which means 5,000. This usage is no longer current, because the largest numbers usually expressed in the Roman system are dates, as discussed above.

PS I didn't google first, I just saw the question and thought... whats the largest roman numeral and looked that up.
