Does it count if you used LNS and never had the actual number anywhere?

[PIEBALDconsult]

Hold on... I'm not done yet. :cool:

Had to Google LNS and came across the social networking site.

Oh! That's easy!

        BigInteger bi = new BigInteger(Int64.MaxValue);
        bi++;
        Console.WriteLine(bi);
