    (un)expected factorial? 1,30767e12 wipes seems like a lot. I guess you never specified currency, but at an average cost of 3,0581e-11 per wipe, I’ll assume that that’s a pretty decent deal.

      Well, that would be good value! (there’s also an Excel joke just there but now I’ve ruined it). In this case, I was using the symbol to denote emphasis in linguistic terms and not embiggen a number.

        Yeah I figured you meant the linguistic rather than the mathematical sense of the !, but I chose to intentionally misinterpret that for comedic effect.

        Would you mind explaining the excel joke? I’ve spent very little time using that program (I’ll leave it up to you to decide how fortunate I’ve been), so I don’t really get it

          Well I cannot check, I’m in Linux right now. But I’m fairly sure when there’s an invalid value for conversion or other function the cell shows the text “VALUE!” in it.

      Now you run into the problems of minimum order quanitities that make it impractical for an end user to acquire the product. The costs of transporting, warehousing, and eventually disposing the vast majority of 1,30767e12 wipes will far exceed the initial purchase price.
