Human Pixel Project 2

Finished 9 pixels over the weekend, well actually friday but had a not being able to log on to my blog problem.
The final pixel is a “mystery pixel”, so mysterious even I do not know what it is.

I’ve just spotted a slight flaw in my American place names theory, if this were true as John Earle pointed out that an American inch was 1/2 a British Inch then Americans would all be 3 foot tall or 12 foot tall, or something maybe.

Anyway today’s interesting fact, the largest number with a name is a gogol. If you made a computer program to write out a gogol on a standard PC it would take it approximately 85 years before it would finish.

    Sorry Rob.

    A googolplex is the largest number with a name.

    Here’s a list of big numbers.

    Gogol is a Russian author. One of my favorites, in fact. I highly recommend “The Nose” (short story) or his novel Dead Souls.

    Yeah, but what’s the metric equivalent? And the conversion factor?
