But I knew Darth_Katie was going to crash :P.


I couldn't remember what the trick was to win, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't even count the digits accurately in that horrible number, so I just said screw it and picked something. :D

I'll share one of my methods for counting digits in large numbers just in case you ever need to do that again.

1. Copy and paste the number into a word processing program that has a position tracker and customizable word wrap. I use Jarte, but any number of programs would work.

2. Place your cursor immediately before the last digit of the number.

3. Look at the Column number.

4. If the number contains only digits, then the Column number will give you the number of them.

5. If, on the other hand, the number is separated by commas, then divide the Column number by 4, round down to the nearest integer, and subtract that number from the Column number to find the number of digits.

And the Eddington Number really isn't that bad. Maybe next time I should run a game with Graham's. :P
