The upshot is that a chess player is faced with an average of 35 choices for each move. Go averages 250 options. This figure is known as a problem's "branching factor," and it is a bane of AI. If you multiply 250 by itself enough times -- to evaluate possible responses, counter-responses, and so forth -- you quickly arrive at a number of positions much greater than the number of atoms in the universe, which would take all of the world's computers well over a million years to map out. In fact, it wasn't even until last year that anyone managed to actually calculate how many. (It's about 2.081681994 x 10^170. Or, in plain English, two hundred quinquinquagintillion.)

The MCG Delivers the computational power that analysis of the complex dynamic phenotypical expressions of an individual’s Cardiovascular System as a whole demand, rating at a numerical complexity of 10 to the 168th power (or ten quinquinquagintillion), via the 168 mathematical elements from the six functions extracted empirically from the large clinical database.

Its elegance might explain why more than 280 million people watched the tournament live. That number, however, is vastly exceeded by the number of possible Go positions—there are about 2.081681994 × 10¹⁷⁰, which is two hundred quinquinquagintillion—and vastly more than the number of atoms in the universe, which helps explain why it was a much more interesting challenge than a game like checkers or chess.

After having been given another shot at life by the Goddess Alexandra, young Cyrus, over the course of eighteen years, stacked his unique skills a few thousand times and by doing so overloaded his system, slowly losing his sanity and gaining more stacks of the [Insanity] debuff, all the while gaining an almost unlimited experience multiplier.

I noticed the money per second calculations that show up on each business's bar doesn't correspond to how much I'm actually money I'm actually getting. For example, on Earth I currently have 1.007 quinquinquagintilion /s showing up on my Banks alone, but I take like 5+ seconds to actually make 1 quinquinquagintillion. Is there any reason for this, or is it some sort of bug?
