Large Number (Posted on 2003-05-06) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Assume there are approximately 5,000,000,000 people on earth. What would you estimate to be the result, if you multiply together the number of fingers on every person's left hands?

(If you cannot estimate the number, then try to guess how long the number would be.)

thats not right, he isn't asking how many left hand fingers, he is asking how much is 5*5*5*....... or 5^5,000,000,000 which is alot more, but I don't think it is all that hard really, just look at brian smith's first answer, he was right and at least a couple o fus got the same thing, (which is 0, but we won't go there) :)
