Adam's Lynz

I was looking through the old Lab6 archives recently, and noticed the Lynz page, with its horribly broken Excel spreadsheet. That was then. Now I have GNU bc, an arbitrary precision calculator, and for what it's worth, the number of lynz is now ten to the power a 548 digit number: somewhat larger than the number of different ways all the particles in the known universe could be randomly shuffled at each moment in time since the universe's creation.

And if he doesn't do them by tomorrow, there'll be more.

    I have moved my pages to a new domain, and the universe shuffle link is now at:

    Also my table showing the growth of The Lynz is here:

    (I did not set "K=10^63 precisely" on the 17th September 1998, so my figures are a little bit different. I also assume that the lynz square at precisely midnight each day and do not change during the day.)
