1 to the googolth power is, of course, just 1. You meant 10 to the googolth, and even then you meant "to write down in decimal notation", since it can be written as "10^(10^100)". Still, your basic point is correct. =========================================================================== Dennis Paul Himes <> dennis@himes.connix.com homepage: http://www.connix.com/~dennis/dennis.htm Gladilatian page: http://www.connix.com/~dennis/glad/lang.htm Disclaimer: "True, I talk of dreams; which are the children of an idle brain, begot of nothing but vain fantasy; which is as thin of substance as the air." - Romeo & Juliet, Act I Scene iv Verse 96-99
