"Graham's number, named after Ronald Graham, is a large number often described as the largest finite number that has ever been seriously used in a mathematical proof. Guinness World Records even listed Graham's number as the World Champion largest number. It is too large to be written in scientific notation because even the digits in the exponent would exceed the number of atoms in the observable universe so it needs its own special notation to write down."

No, it has nothing to do with vectors. I was playing around with the pen tool in Illustrator CS2 today out of boredom at work, and this is what I came up with. I really didn't know how to do the 64, nor where to position them. But whatever.
So, if you ever decide to colour an n-dimensional hypercube, just remember this.
