I’m sure we all have a few. This one will be tough though.

To double the number of visitors this blog each day

Hmm. 50 today, 100 tomorrow, 200 on the 3 rd, 400 the 4th, 800…..I’m not very good at maths, but isn’t this 50 x 2 to the power of 365? (err, yes, please, do correct me, umm, 10 power 365? err? ).

Or something like the number of atoms in the universe? You know, getting close to Iain Dale style traffic numbers?

    That’s not what I meant, and you know it!

    It would be nice, though…

    50 × 2^365 = 3 757 668 132 438 133 164 623 168 954 862 939 243 801 092 078 253 311 793 131 665 554 451 534 440 183 373 509 541 918 397 415 629 924 851 095 961 600 or about 3.758 × 10^111
