Phoenix 47 (42 corrected for inflation)

The title of this thread is a Star Trek gag. My apologies, but it was all I could find on the number 47.

Anyway, the question is: Using the US and modern British system of large numbers, how many zeros in a Millillion?

six sixes are 36. how about that?

Nowhere near, either of you, I'm afraid. 10^24 is a Septillion, and 10^36 is an Undecillion

okay 6^6 is 46656. but that seems improbably many.

Glad I cheated on Wikipedia - it's not very guessable!

Oh I don't know, it's easy enough to narrow down!

Above 3 and below 46656. Has nothing to do with sixes BTW, it's not divisable by 6.

Matt is staggeringly close.

BTW I picked this number because it's the second highest named number below a Googleplex. At least according to Wikipedia.

3012

3012 / 6 == 502

And wrong direction anyway.
