| There's no way of knowing when an idea will coalesce and the stars align, producing a discovery that solves a crucial problem, creates a windfall of googol dimensions, or triggers a smile. |
| Then, maybe they notice that a googol plus one is also a number, and they realize that although the names for numbers run out, the numbers themselves never do. |
| Even bigger than a googol, according to Kasner, is a googolplex, a 1 followed by a googol zeros. |
| Steven J. Wilson's Integermania page has an incomplete set of solutions up to a googol, along with several related problems. |
| A mere googol of pi might be only the first knot at the corner of a kind of limitless Persian rug, which is woven into increasingly elaborate diamonds, cross-stars, gardens, and cosmogonies. |
| I also knew what a googol, the largest number in the world, was — a hundred zeroes — but twenty grand seemed better. |
