...i think it's quite a bit more than that
I made a typo and used 177 b.
getting correct within a factor of 2 after a 42-fold exponentiation would be amazingly good mental math
I had to check the math and I was surprised that 2^42 is “only” 4.4 trillion. Thought it would be a lot greater like there are less atoms in the universe similar to the uniqueness of a shuffled deck of cards.
