Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Undecillion

Answer: Thirty-six

This can be written in 12 groups of three zeroes after the figures and before the decimal point.

In 2014, a New York man sued several defendants for $2 undecillion after he was bitten by what he claims was a rabid dog on a bus.

He demanded damages for "civil-rights violations, personal injury, discrimination in national origin, retaliation, harassment, fraud, attempted murder, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy to defraud".

He claimed his middle finger was bitten off by a 'rabies infected' dog on a city bus and that a Chinese couple took photographs of him in hospital without his permission.

To put it in perspective, the estimated economic value of all of the goods and services ever created in the history of humanity to that time was $2,400,000,000,000,000, less than half of what he claimed.
