good luck, Lucy, on counting all the grains of sand on the beach

Now try counting how many drops of water the ocean has.

I can save you some time, Lucy. Just count every other snowflake, then multiply by two.

“And though the holes were rather small, they had to count them all…”

“How many are there?”

“All of ’em!”

LIke sand through an hourglass, these are the flakes of our snow.

I demand a recount! Even though the result will be the same :-)

I got about 96.

You have to take into account the negatives (already melted flakes), fractions of snowflakes, the irrational snowflakes (which change during fall) and the complex snowflakes (also called imaginary snowflakes), which are clumping together.It’s not as easy as it seems, actually.

Counting snow? Gee, I don’t know. Now give me a nearly endless herd of cows as I pass them in a car, that’s much easier. You just count the legs and divide by four. (Ba-da-boom!)

Either Linus is very good at math or he is a liar.

Linus also knows the exact number of stars in the universe and the last digit of PI

Are you going to keep her in suspense?

@Chess PirateGive me a few quadrillion centuries!

Please don’t say that all snowflakes are different because you can’t prove that.

I only bother tying to count flurries, and only then as long as it’s not a flurry storm.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.
