Still less tedious than watching Charlton last season.JiMMy 85 said:
"Imagine the total possible combination figure as time, a countdown clock that counts down from 8.065x10^68 seconds to Zero. How long would it be?
Well, first take any spot on the equator of the Earth. Take ONE step, after every ONE BILLION years. Keep doing this until you complete an entire round around earth. After one round is completed, take ONE DROP of water from the Pacific Ocean and put it aside. Keep doing both of these (completing a round then taking a drop) till the Pacific Ocean has dried out. Once the Pacific Ocean has dried out, place a sheet of paper on the ground. Now keep doing all of these (completing a round, taking a drop, placing a sheet of paper) till the tower of the sheet of paper REACHES THE SUN.
With this, the clock would have reached down TO... 8.062 x 10^68 seconds. Repeat all of this about 1000 times and you would be one-third of the way through."5 -
