I did a bit of a deep dive into wikipedia and the googology wiki and the answer to the last question depends on a few things (along with assuming ZFC).

Revision as of 20:36, 31 July 2024
pre-algebra: 4, calculus: pi^2 / 4 (about 2.467), physics: cosmological constant: depends on how you measure it 162.158.167.48 18:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Game theory: -5x10⁶ (maybe helpful, maybe not... just be thankful I didn't include an i factor in there somewhere...) 172.70.162.185 18:20, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Could somebody reformat all the math here in whatever LaTeX plugin this wiki uses? --162.158.222.102 18:35, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Probably not, because the MathML here is broken. But, also, nothing I see requires anything particularly complicated, it can all stay in fairly straightforward (standardly formatted) text. 141.101.98.224 18:44, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
I had to look up "TREE(3)." Seriousness aside, I think the largest number would be the astrological sign 1 that has its end_points_ as galaxy clusters.172.68.245.184 19:26, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Infinity is _not_ a number. Dúthomhas (talk) 19:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
If infinity _is_ a number, it might be a possible solution to the game theory question. The average of any set of numbers that includes infinity is infinity, and infinity + 10 is still infinity. I probably wouldn't try that in most classes, but a game theory professor might approve "gaming" the system, as it were.
- If I would prefer no-one (else) to win, I might submit -∞ as my answer. 172.70.90.74 20:13, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Infinity is absolutely not a number, and is the one answer I would mark as unambiguously wrong for the last one. Just say TREE(G_64) or something. 162.158.154.31 20:15, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
I did a bit of a deep dive into wikipedia and the googology wiki and the answer to the last question depends on a few things (along with assuming ZFC). If transfinite ordinals count as numbers, then those at the end of List of large cardinal properties take the cake (if i'm reading it right). Otherwise, something based off Rayo's number is the best googologists have come up with so far. 172.69.246.149 20:18, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Bumpf
