I can get to the trillion, but then I start making up numbers like I was
when I was three like "gagillion"
It is nice though that Microsoft .NET is U.S. Deficit Compliant.

CJ,
try this one: http://www.mathmojo.com/interestingl...e_numbers.html
I find that quite interesting, too!
And I'm always wondering, why it's Milliarde in German but Billion in
English...

Here's a chart that goes up to 10^(10^100), a "googolplex": http://g42.org/MiscInfo/numbers.html
I used to have a link to a page that discussed even *bigger* numbers,

I should point out, as a UK citizen with a maths degree and a pretty decent
vocabulary, that I've never heard of the words milliard, billiard or
trilliard. (Billiards is a word, but is a game played on a snooker/pool
type table.)
So I wouldn't try impressing any European friends with this info.

Hi Rob, Billiards is a word, but is a game played on a snooker/pool type table.
A real British answer, is it not something as
"Snooker/pool are games played on special types of billiard tables"
:-)

I've heard of milliard, never used it. I've never heard billiard used as
a number either, but what the hell. If I remember right, milliard is a
French convention, adopted by the UK some time ago but (apparently) not
universal. The "non-milliard" system is German (I think) and sees wider
popularity.

Hi Auric
English is a language which derives from Germanic (and special in that
Danish and the old Nordsea language not German), French and the Gallic
languages.
I thought that in all those languages it is
million-miljon (or whatever)
milliard-miljard (or whatever)
billion-biljon (or whatever)
Sheems to be a shift in the language, why I do not know.

Now I think I see it,
Always the same with those Americans.
They probably did not understand that a Milliard was no Billiard and the
corrected that to Billion.

Actually, it's not. I *am* German, and I think I lost about a milliard four
