Intriguing. For those that were wondering, patio11 is talking about 24 factorial (or "24!").
Edit: corrected the post from 25 to 24. I got bitten by an off-by-one error in Python's range!

Incidentally, if you're trying to explain the results of this calculation to a middle school English teacher, I recommend "More than there are grains of sand on a beach." It relaxes the worry they really have and is non-specific enough to avoid sounding threatening. (Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies.)
24! = 6.20e23; and Avogadro = 6.02e23.
