Episode 279: The Charm of Innumeracy

The twins go to the post office. They return with the mail a few minutes later. Lot of junk, they say as they drop the pile on the counter. Terrastina goes through the envelopes, puts aside the ones with fake credit cards in them, and tosses the rest. Here you are, she says as she hands the saved pile to the twins. They tear open the envelopes and peel off the cards. How many of those do you have now? asks Terrastina. About a trillion and a half, say the twins. We pretty much need at least forty billion.
