Talk:Googoloctoplex

Aarex fixes
The target of this redirect was changed from googoloctiplex to googolseptiplex, as well as the redirects like googoltreplex‎, googolquadruplex, googolsexplex‎ and googolseptenplex, and the corresponding articles were also changed. This is because on the LAN numbers page on Aarex's site, there's an error regarding the definition of googoltreplex, googolquadruplex etc. where on each entry, there is one less s(10,n)'s then needed:


 * Googolduplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,100))) = 10^10^10^100
 * Gooholduplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,10000)))
 * Hexadecimal-googolduplex = s(16,s(16,s(16,100)))
 * Googoltreplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,100)))
 * Googolquadruplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,100))))
 * Googolquinplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,100)))))
 * Googolsexplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,100))))))
 * Googolseptenplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,100)))))))
 * Googoloctoplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,100))))))))
 * Googolnovemplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,100)))))))))
 * Googoldecaplex = s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,s(10,100))))))))))

Note that the definition of googolduplex and googoltreplex is the same.

While I think these edits were done in good faith, I think these edits are problematic because others might use the alternative spelling of googol-n-plex numbers, and will be surprised when they find out that, for instance, googoloctoplex redirects to googolseptiplex (googol-7-plex) instead of googoloctiplex (googol-8-plex). Plus, it would be better to just tell Aarex about the mistake instead of editing those pages to reflect the mistake.

So, what should we do? Revert the edits, or keep it for now? -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 05:57, December 30, 2016 (UTC)
