For the record, his number is (6.02 x 10 to the 23rd). It's the number of atoms (or molecules) in a mole of anything. We chemists are geekily good at remembering this sort of stuff. We also celebrate something called "Mole Day" at exactly 6:02 PM (or AM, if you're a morning person) on October 23. We are just loads of fun.

ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting about Mole Day. I need to mark it on my calendar at work.
ReplyDeleteDitto with "Talk Like A Pirate Day", which IIRC usually occurs sometime in September.
