In the same way that " the number of degrees on a circle" defines 360, "the largest quantifiable number" would then define this number. In which case you can quantify a greater number by saying "the largest quantifiable number plus one."

If you refuse to accept their answers, maybe you should tell us what you think it is, then we can go from there? Math isn't 100% solved. It's a philosophy as much as a science. There are disagreements abound. You need only reference the following question for evidence: "Does 0.9999... = 1?" People disagree heavily and there's really no perfect way to prove one answer over another. With that in mind, depending on definitions and your personal perspective, the 'real answer' to your question can be a lot of different things.

And then we have the (currently) largest "quantifiable" number.</quote>You can do better than that. Way better. Text is an awful way to store a number. If you let it be floating point and make the mantissa 0 length (which is legit, btw), you can get up to 2^(about half a quadrillion). If you really want to get crazy, you can define your own formats. For example, you could define one byte for a base, one byte for an n and every other for a floating-point number of up arrows: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%27s_up-arrow_notation Heh. </quote> ...
