Predict the number of posts in the " March Madness Thread" at the end of the tourney.

[PresidentClinton07]

With the numbers rising to an unprecedented amount, what will the total number of posts be in the "March Madness Thread (Bracket In First Post)" thread by the end of the tourney?

I say 3, 121.

Every man/woman for themselves. Battle Royal. Have at it. :box:

Winner gets an undisclosed prize. :1stplace:

[PresidentClinton07]

Some of the numbers seem high but anything can happen.

Will the Championship game have its own thread or will it be within the March Madness thread?

That I believe is the key to this game.

[Spec138]

A Gugol.

What's a gugol?

4,893

[PokerPacker]

8,500

you heard it here first.

[PokerPacker]

what's a gugol?

4,893

10^100

though its spelled googol

[Spec138]

10^100

It's a googol

Googolplex ftw

[PokerPacker]

It's a googol

Googolplex ftw

10^(10^100)

:rubeyes:

from wikipedia:

An average book of 60 cubic inches can be printed with 5 x 105 '0's (5 characters per word, 10 words per line, 25 lines per page, 400 pages), or 8.3 × 103 '0's per cubic inch. The observable (i.e. past light cone) universe contains 6 × 1083 cubic inches (1.3 × π × (14 × 109 light year in inches)3). This implies that if the universe is stuffed with paper printed with '0's, it could only contain 5.3 × 1087 '0's—far short of a googol of '0's. Therefore a googolplex can not be written out since a googol of '0' can not fit into the observable universe.

Hahaha.

I'm pretty sure a googol is the largest number scientists actually use. Googolplex is completely unnecessary.

Translate to english please.

Edit: Seriously. I have no idea what the **** is going on.

[Spec138]

A googolplex is so large, you couldn't print it in a standard book because the universe is not large enough to fit all the pages.

So does the word only refer to books or anything in general?

[Spec138]

It's just a number, ten to the power of a googol or 10^(10^100)

[PokerPacker]

no, what he means is that the number of 0s in a googolplex is so astronomically large, that if you were to write it out, it would be so large that it wouldn't fit in the observable universe.
