Note

  • 1 Googolplex is 1 0 1 0 100 10^{10^{100}}


The answer is 99.

( 1 0 n ) 1 0 n = 1 0 n × 1 0 n (10^n)^{10^n}=10^{n \times 10^n} so n × 1 0 n n \times 10^n have to be lower than 1 0 100 10^{100} .The answer is W n ( 1 0 100 × ( log ( 2 ) + log ( 5 ) ) log ( 2 ) + log ( 5 ) 98 \frac{W_n(10^{100} \times (\log(2)+\log(5))}{\log(2)+\log(5)} \approx 98 ,since 1 0 n 10^n have n + 1 n+1 digits so the number of digits is 98 + 1 = 99 98+1=\boxed{\large{99}}
