Instead of subtracting one, you subtracted 1,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001!

Why isn't this on general discution?
I think this falls better under, "fun stuff you sort of do" category.

What? You didn't start with a Googolplex? Hmm... Maybe that would be a little extreme...

Nine hundred ninety-nine undecillion ... nine hundred ninety-seven bottles of beer on the wall!

12 posts in to counting down from n, we're reached n - 3. That's a pretty dismal ratio of posts to beers consumed. :lol:

Well, considering the sheer magnitude of numbers we're dealing with, the difference between n-12 and n-3 is fairly trivial.

Re: "Bottles of Beer On the Wall" starting with a large nume

One way to approach this problem is to take the easy way out.

Ten to the thirty-ninth bottles of beer on the wall...

Ten to the thirty-ninth minus 1 bottles of beer on the wall...

So in general
Ten to the A-th bottles of beer on the wall..
Ten to the A-th minus n bottles of beer on the wall

where A is some constant
and n is monotonically increasing

el oh el

Re: "Bottles of Beer On the Wall" starting with a large nume

That works well for a little while, but once you start getting through it, it becomes cumbersome, unless we can just write the number (numerical form).
10[sup]39[/sup] - 312,143,049,011,201,966,884,513 bottles of beer on the wall.

In which case, there's really no need to write out the number as has been done above.

Ironically enough, we end up, in a way, counting up instead of down.
10[sup]39[/sup]
10[sup]39[/sup] - 1
10[sup]39[/sup] - 2
...
10[sup]39[/sup] - n

Why doesn't the forum respect basic formatting?

Re: "Bottles of Beer On the Wall" starting with a large nume

I think the whole point is that you have to do it the hard way. As you would have to if you were actually singing it. Or maybe the whole point was to get a bunch of nerds to play along; and if that's the case then I would say it's an unqualified success.
