    Re: Simple Quiz

    I don't know... so I cheated... and google tells me that this is a trick question. German words can be made as long as you want them to be because they allow for the addition of new elements. Or something...

    I did find:

    Re: Simple Quiz

    A bit late, but if we are allowed to use math symbols, an infinately large number can be generated with two or more ones via:
    ((11!)!)!... etc.

    To attone for my smart a$$ answer, I offer this quiz:
    Name the former Billboard top-40 hit with the largest prime number in the title.

    I wonder there would ever be any song which could contain the largest known prime number. 2^25964951 - 1

    See this
    Sarve Bhavantu Sukheenah,
    Sarve Santu Niramayah,
    Sarve Bhadrani Pashyantu,
    Ma Kashchit dukh bhag bhavet.

    My guess is 1999 by Prince or whatever he calls himself these days.

    An excellent guess, but wrong. Think about three orders of magnitude higher.
