    Yeah, wasn't really fair was it. Just reminded me of it when you said "why is it so?"

    Whose turn was it?

    It's actually a googol, and it's ten to the power of one hundred - named by the 9-year-old (I think) daughter of a mathematician, and meaning "bigger than anything I can imagine." A googolplex is 10 to the power of googol.

    You wouldn't believe how bored you can get in the ticket queue at Fenchurch St Station...

    What is the current speed record for a train, and which train was it?
