"For anyone wondering the total number of possible books the website can generate (Or the universe in the book) is so large that it would take 7 million bytes just to hold the number (7 megabytes). The number is 1,834,098 digits long. Assuming each room is approximately 10m3 (I know they are hexagons, but this will make it simpler), the total volume of the universe would be 10106.2m3. This is 1.2x101834023 times bigger than the observable universe. So if you were thinking of reading every page of every book, it would take a while.
Edit: Specifically it would take 1.62x101834093 centuries. (That's 1.62x101834093 times longer than how long the universe is supposed to last)"- on the plus side, you'd probably sleep really well.Amicus
