How many digits are there in 2^1000 (2 to the power of 1000)?
(In reply to
re: Solution by levik)
I'm sure that gary meant it as an approximation (though he did use the equals sign). The real problem is that the approximation was not quite good enough. Ender, using the same method with a closer approximation, gets the same answer as Nick, who "cheated." Fwaff must be a good guesser, since he comes up with the same answer with his guess. (Though he has a reasonable explanation why he made the guess he did.)
