Lynz

The lynz (pronounced "lynz") is a dynamic googologism that grows over time.

There are two definitions. The first lynz is defined as follows:
 * It is 100 on February 26th, 1998.
 * For all following days, the value of the previous day is doubled.
 * It is rounded to  on September 17th, 1998.
 * For all following days, the value of the previous day is squared.

The second lynz is defined as follows:
 * It is 100 on February 26th, 1998.
 * For all following days, the value of the previous day is doubled.

The term "the lynz," abbreviated K (kappa), refers to the sum of the two.

History
The number originated when chemistry student Adam Clarkson was told to write "I must always tuck my shirt in whilst participating in a Chemistry Lesson" one hundred times on a chalkboard. The teacher added that the number of lines would double for every day they were not done.
