What is the highest someone could possibly count up to?
468158
Assuming that counting starts a 5 years of age (which is not realistic) and continues for 70 years (75 is life expectancy for a male in the USA) and that each number takes one second to count (the average would be closer to 6 seconds) and 8 hour per 24 was spent sleeping, etc., then\n\n70 * 365 = 25550 days.\n25550 * 16 hours / day = 408,800 hours.\n408,800 * 60 minutes / hour = 24,528,000 seconds.\n\n24,528,000 at 1 second or 4,080,000 at 6 seconds per number.\n\nIn actual counting trials, it has been estimated that the typical person, loosing places, getting bored and having to eat and wash occasionally would be lucky to be able to count to one million during their lifetime.

10 - Some people just can't count the way you can!\n\n(I'm looking forward to commenting on this question, assuming other people know what you're even talking about!!!!)

Highest points, in what regard?
289365
Just a guess, a ten on a scale of one to ten with ten being the highest. And scoot back before you fall and injure yourself.

Heck, if that's the case! Call Guiness Book of World Records. You might be a record holder or be the first. You never know.

I would say there is no legal maximum so 24 is the answer..

The many U can count!
1113261
hypothetically\n\nan infinite number

256 - the highest number that can be expressed is 255 (calculation shown below), but 0 is also a valid combination:\n\n1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1\n\n=> 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128\n\n= 255\n\nThis is in a sequence of powers of 2 = 2^0 + 2^1 +...+ 2^7

probably more than 1k

More than 750\n\nMurali will win the competition (because he is capable)

Hard to say, more than 150,000 I think
407345

565741

116974

(Modified on March 06/06):\nI think the largest number is\n(.1)^[-(.1)^(-11)]\nbecause it is the same as\n10^(10^11)\na 1 followed by one hundred miliard zeros\n\nP.S. (for illegal's lovers): 11/(1-1)
