Title
Numbers: They’re Just Too Darn Big!
Description
Numbers are great! They help us count, quantify, and define things. But many are too big, like your social security number (long enough for every American to have three) or your credit card number (enough digits that everyone on the planet can have 125,000). This is an amusing and eye-popping look at the overuse of big numbers… and why some of them might actually make sense.
