Talk:-yllion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How is -yllion pronounced? Perhaps that should be mentioned in the article. Foogol 01:17, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mathematical Gardner

I believe this number system comes from the paper Supernatural Numbers from the book the Mathematical Gardner. I'm not sure though, as I do not own this book. —Ruud 15:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recursivity?

In the third bullet point, where it says "382 myriad 19 hundred 2," shouldn't it say "3 hundred 82 myriad 19 hundred 2?" Or is there a different way to articulate "382,0000?" Is there a recusivity to the naming of numbers under this system? Kirkmeyers 05:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
