Title: Even more mafs
Post by: RED-DOG on June 09, 2015, 05:08:04 PM

Oh I wish I was good at maths.

Anyway, if we assume four digits to the inch, starting at one, doubling the total and adding to the previous total 64 times, how long would the answer be?

270 billion billion.

270 quintillion.

The number of cards needed if everyone in England sent everyone else a birthday card.

The number of grains of sand on 36 Earths.

The number of molecules in 1/1000th of a gram of water.

ish.

I'm told that if you could fold a sheet of paper 64 times, it would be thick enough to reach the moon.

How many times would you have to fold Celtic in half before he was thick enough?
