Googol and Googolplex - Numberphile

I remember writing a googol across three blackboards in grade school -- must've taken an hour or longer to do it.


Even if writing a single "0" took you 5 seconds, writing 100 of them would only take you 500 seconds, i.e. a little over 8 minutes. Your sense of time back in grad school has obviously been influenced by weed or similar :-)

We spent a loooong time writing big numbers around the room -- and then talking and learning about the large numbers we were writing around the large classroom at the time, walking around with our short little 12 year old legs.
