On average, it takes viruses and bacteria 1 femtoseconds (1 quadrillionth of a second or) to contaminate food that has been dropped to the floor. So much for the "3 second rule" or "5 second rule" or "whatever number of seconds rule".

Edit: Turns out it was 1 femto second, not 12.

Graham's number is an unimaginably large number that is a proven upper bound to the solution of a certain problem in Ramsey theory. It is so large that the observable universe is far too small to contain an ordinary digital representation of Graham's number, assuming that each digit occupies one Planck volume, possibly the smallest measurable space. Even the form a^b^c... is insufficient for this purpose; however, the last 12 digits are: 262464195387.

In older classification systems, most amoebas were placed in the class or subphylum Sarcodina, a grouping of single-celled organisms that possess pseudopods or move by protoplasmic flow. However, molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that Sarcodina is not a monophyletic group whose members share common descent. Consequently, amoeboid organisms are no longer classified together in one group.
