I've asked Kalgat the following question: Assume your screen is capable of 800x600 resolution, and it is capable to display 256 colours, how many images can you display on the screen in total. He cheated by only giving us the formula but did not bother to actually calculate the answer. The formula is 256^(800x600), or 256^480000. Using nothing more than Excel, I've since calculated that number and it is slightly bigger than what the maximum lenght is that I am allowed to post on this forum. If you can confirm if the following number is indeed the accurate answer, you are excused to answer my previous question:
The answer to 256^480,000 produces an answer that is 1,155,956 digits long. The first 8 digits of this answer is: 15,252,803.... the last 9 digits is: .......673,590,376. The number is made up of the following digits:
0 appears 115,148
1 appears 115,405
2 appears 116,122
3 appears 115,551
4 appears 115,861
5 appears 115,895
6 appears 115,671
7 appears 115679
8 appears 115,110
9 appears 115,514
Please confirm if you agree with the above number as being the correct answer... for an accountant, should not take more than about 10 minutes to verify if the numbers balances or not... ;-)
Ps... in hindsight, I must have been seriously bored to have gone ahead and calculate that freaken number... ;-)
Dude this fascinates me lol. How could you even come up with a thing like this? sho...
9 appears 115,514. Looks like pixel co-ordinates to me.
