Examples
“But how long is a world or cycle of nature? And how many courses or cycles of nature are there in a thingy? To answer⟳ the latter question⟳ first, a thingy is a number⟳ represented by a unit followed some say⟳ by sixty-four, some by one hundred and forty, ciphers. We are not accustomed to think⟳ in such high figures. One thousand million make⟳ a billion, and a thousand billion make⟳ a trillion, a thousand trillion a quadrillion and so on, next in order⟳ coming quintillions, sextillions, septillions, octillions, nonillions, decillions, undecillions, duodecillions, tredecillions, quattuordecillions, quindecillions, sedecillions, septendecillions, duodevigintillions, undevigintillions, vigintillions. The lesser sum mentioned, the number⟳ one with sixty-four ciphers following it, would amount to ten vigintillions, while the greater sum would amount to one hundred quinquequadragintillions.”
“Six cents, invested at 5½ per cent. and the interest⟳ compounded semi-annually for the 2,500 years that have⟳ passed since the little Utican’s time, would amount to so much money that there is no intelligible idea of it. If you write⟳ down $36 and add⟳ fifty-nine ciphers you will have⟳ on paper the answer⟳, but it will be an answer⟳ in numbers only. To say⟳ that this sum is expressed in this country as 36 undevigintillion dollars, and in England as 36 nonillion dollars, is likewise baffling.”
“The mathematician says that if one will write⟳ $36 and add⟳ 59 ciphers to it he will have⟳ the approximate answer⟳. If this stupendous sum were turned into gold the pile of yellow metal would weigh⟳ a trillion times as much as the earth if the earth were of gold. What all this gold, this 36 undevigintillions of dollars, would buy⟳ can’t be imagined.”
“The number⟳ of ninety-six figures is—321 trigintillions[,] 654 undetrigentillions,^([sic]) 987 duodetrigintillions, 111 septevigintillions,^([sic]) 222 sexvigintillions, 333 quinquivigintillions, 444 quadrevigintillions, 555 trevigintillions, 666 duovigintillions, 777 un vigintillions,^([sic]) 737 vigintillions, 828 undevigintillions, 919 duodevigintillions, 123 septendecillions, 456 sexdecillions, 789 quindecillions, 999 quodredecillions,^([sic]) 888 tredecillions, 646 duodecillions, 575 undecillions, 464 decillions, 353 nonillions, 242 octillions, 131 septillions, 404 quadrillions, 550 trillions, 606 billions, 770 millions, 808 thousand nine hundred and ninety.”
