Grillion Dollar Question

Page history last edited by Joe 1 mo ago

The combination of a ficticious number and the title of a 1950s US TV game show, the Grillion Dollar Question usually refers to any question of which the answer is of great importance.

 

It has been suggested that a grillion could be 10 to the eleventh power. In Douglas Adams' Life, the Universe and Everything, "two grillion" was used to describe the number of casualties in the two-thousand-year war against the Krikkiters.
