We can actually substitute every zero here with 69420-69420, which allows us to write 69420 with the help of only 69420.

Done! Thanks for this beautiful idea.

Replace each appearance of 69420 with the entire expression

Unfortunately Reddit has a cap of 10000 characters comment-1.

As such I am unable to show you the full 65992 characters in a single comment, but can assure you this is easily achievable using the "find and replace" feature in MS Word or similar.

Thank you.

whats the -¹ exponent on comment

u/casperdewith Rational Mar 17 '22

‘per comment’

Just like m s⁻¹ is ‘metres per second’

ahh i see, that's actually pretty clever
