Austin's Wasted Knowledge

OK. Lets say, you're walking down the street, and some sicko grabs you, puts a gun in your face, and asks "Do you know 25,000!"
What do you do? What do you do?!?

Well, you've come to the right place.
Unless, of course, you need accuracy, in which case you're screwed. Logic be damned, the factorials aren't good (as far as I know) over ~10000! Either that, or they get a suspicous regularity (ie extra 3k digits for every 1000 higher). I have no idea why.

Frank Pilhofer was the fourth (and most recent) person to respond to this page. He too has an interest in big factorials (and primes), and was kind enough to give me his source code, as well as a clever program for estimating them, using a neat sort of floating point-type deal. Everything seems to be perfectly accurate, except for the translation of "factorial." :)

The sysadmins here on Havoc are really cool, because they let me use ungodly amounts of disk space for these stupid numbers.

Useless Stuff to do here

Look at BIG damn numbers (factorials)

Look at someone else's Pi

Make your own Useless Numbers

Turn your boring phone number into something New and Exciting!! (this is probably broken, for now)

Watch for new and exciting things, folks. Like large powers of two, etc.
Now, what you've all been waiting for: my proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. It's really an elegant proof; unfortunately, I haven't room right here, so follow this link to see it.

There's more to come, Kids. If you know of anything you'd like to see here, email me.
