aka: ten duotrigintillion on the short scale, ten thousand sexdecillion on the long scale, or ten sexdecilliard on the Peletier long scale

A googol is greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe, which has been variously estimated from 10⁷⁹ up to 10⁸¹

The King granted this request, thinking the inventor was asking for a pittance, but he soon realized that he was outsmarted. The amount of rice exceeded all possible grain reserves!

2 to the power of 64 is something like 64 Quintillion (a Billion Trillions)
