That's unpossible. Even by the hand of your imaginary friend.

I don't know but i have part 5 of the CFR on my desk and that is pretty big by itself.

Lol yah I'm pretty familiar with part 14 myself, you'd think this would be a findable fact (without actually counting myself)

Question is moot. Ask yourself this: How does the structure of your Society compare to other Societies?

The US isn't perfect and it has many problems, but overall it compares quite favorably amongst the Nations of the World. Like the Bible says, "You shall know them by their Fruit". By that standard you gotta wonder why so many constantly gnash their teeth about so many things, especially after the recent events were the result of ditching much of that Code.

Even Google can't count that high.

Why? the first part of your sig may apply to this. I'm not using it as a measuring stick of anything, I just and want to use it as an example in a paper on problem solving methodology.

Agreed, though the Bible actually says "You'll know a tree by it's fruit," but given the second part of your sig I won't fault you for it

BTW, I'm posting from just south of Campbell River and have been a Canucks fan for 20 years. Sedin is on fire this season

It's been awhile since I've read the Bible, only remeber the gist rather than word for word.

Yup, they are on fire. Could be the year.

Yeah right, that's why you posted in P&N instead of OT.

Well hello Captain Attitude, if I'd posted in OT it would have been off the first page of threads in 5 minutes with two replies as useless as your own.

Don't get my hopes up, I'm still scarred from 1994

So did you get your answer here? Nope

Is it news? Nope

Is it politics? Since it's posted in P&N I would assume you're trying to make a political statment? If not then your in the wrong forum.

Try highly technical, they would be of more help and without that nasty attitude that seems to frighten you.

So did you get your answer here? Not yet

Is it news? Nope

Is it politics? Yes the CFRs are about as political a subject as you'll find.

Try highly technical, they would be of less help because they discuss things that aren't dry as toast and have ~1/100 the views, my nasty attitude is the result of being unemployed for quite some time.

Thank you for your contributions, very informative and insightful.

edit:

42

Well looks like Dari has found the answer, I'll admit, there weren't as many digits as I expected.

That means 10^42, of course.
