Note Submitter: phpnet at majiclab dot com ---- Scott, Your numbers are a little low! 32 ^ 16 is not actually the proper equation. MD5 is a 128-bit hash, so it could be written as: 2 ^ 128 OR 16 ^ 32. Your answer was 1.20892581961e+24, when in fact it is more like 3.40282366921e+38. So, add about 14 zeroes to his number, and then multiply by 3 or so, and then you'll have the proper amount. In other words, take his whole point, and then add a few more billion hard drives.
