If course they didn’t actually count all of the grains of sand or atoms in a grain of sand. They have mathematical models for that. If there are parallel universes a Quintilian would be a good start on their number. But adding that might just be too much. Lets just stay with our universe, shall I?
To put this in perspective; Say you wanted to count from 1 to 10 quintillion. If you counted at the rate of one number per second, you would reach 10 quintillion in approximately 220 billion years. In other words, after the universe suffers heat death.
I give Brewster credit for counting that high. I always took him for the type that needed to take off his shoes and socks to count past 11. I would have lost interest at about 100,000.
I’m missing something here… One quintillion = 10^19, and one million = 10^6. So, wouldn’t a Septillion = 10^25?Where did I go wrong?NOT that a factor of 10 is too horribly significant at this order of magnitude…

Silly Brewster, just get a quadrillion sand pails to put them in.

Brewster can count?

1 quadrillion = 1 followed by 16 zeros.
1 quintillion = 1 followed by 19 zeros.
1 septillion = 1 followed by 24 zeros (Or 1 million quintillion)
1 septillion stars seen in the visible universe.
200 million stars in an average galaxy
200 million possible galaxies.

Now, lets count how many grains of sand there are in the universe.

You forget that Brewster was made this way by a botched alien mind probe. He was once quiet smart. Which we got to see briefly once.

The only grains of sand that really matter are the ones that found their way into your Jockey shorts…*/&! $/@~ it!
