Highest Number you Know? (Competition)

[Hlinzi]

Hi, here's a competition.
I was just horsing around and i found the biggest number ever ;)
The number must be written in letters, it doesen't have to be correct spelled.
Here Goes:

Ninehundred Ninetynine Quad-rillion Ninehundred Ninetynine Trillion Ninehundred Ninetynine Billion Ninehundred Ninetynine Million Ninehundred Ninetynine Thousand Ninehundred Ninetynine

So that was my number, in numbers it would be =

999999999999999999

;)

To remind you, you may not do something like Nine grillion frillion billion quad-rillion

You have to know what you're saying.

Edit:
Please add something weird, funny or cool including the number :D
Mine:

Many people know the Remington 700 (R700) a nice Sniper Rifle.
here's my version :o

Remington 999999999999999999 (R999999999999999999)

hehe :P

Um, this is not needed for the Competition. Just something funny/weird/cool to the thread :)

That is 10^66 - 1.

The next higher named unit is centillion (10^603)

btw : googol (10^100) and googolplex (10^googol) are also recognized by the majority of standards institutes.
















centillion

Simply because a Wizard should know such stuff....

(The majority of the prefixes are simple counting in Latin)

Graham's number is much larger than other well-known large numbers such as a googol and a googolplex...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%27s_number

Agreed, but by its very nature, its value can not be written or spoken as a natural number.

Vigintillion is my favourite number :)

[TheCPUWizard]

I should note that I let my American bias in on this. Switching to traditional British, most of the terms go in powers of 6 rather than 3, so that

1 Billion is:

nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine

With similar replacements throughout. This increates the number
from 10^(66-1)
to 10^ (105-1)

Making a virgintillion 10^57 times more valuable!

I had a roommate in college we all called Stoner Steve.

He was the highest number I've ever known.

[sweet_babylhyn]

I think the highest number is 88. Know what, because the Name A88 is the name of the spaceship landed in pluto last december 31, 2008. I think its the highest. hehehe!

I have not been around with 7-11 for 2 years. All the food there are pretty expensive.
711 is the highest nomber

[toraj58]

2012 is the highest number according to MAYAN calendar (as view point of date)

[Belzeski]

That's sweet, 2012 seems a good year. Keep it up :D

"The End of Time", "The Apocolypse", "The Destruction of Man"....

These seem like GOOD things to you????? :confused::confused::confused:

Of course this presumes that the people who relating the solar alignment (when viewed from Earth) with the center of the galaxy to various other material (including the Mayan Calanders end date, the writings/drawings of Nostradamus, etc) are correct.....
