gollark: <@!250805396418068482> is actually working on a 56G stairstep or something. I ran the numbers for a 56G arrowy one.
gollark: I think arrow is the right term.
gollark: The one which would require 72 petadragons was a 56G arrow.
gollark: The numbers are perfectly manageable if you accept inbreeding and don't mind breeding for ages, or use a cheaper thing like stairstep.
gollark: So, 2 times itself 56 times in total, which is 2^56, which is 72 quadrillion or so.
