@ponderable saidOf course you are correct. My figures are wrong.
As a chemist I have to disagree:
the number is in fact : 6.02214076×10^23
And it refers to the number of Carbonatoms in isotopically pure C12. Natural Hydrogen has an atomic Mass of 1.008, so the numb er is About 0.8 percent off, since you gave an accuracy of 1 in 10^9 this is significant...
But I still think Avogadro's number is a better answer to the question about a number beginning with A.
@handyandy saidI was thinking, many different hexadecimal numbers begin with A, but that couldn't be the answer you'd want, even if technically it's correct.

@bigdoggproblem saidAnesthesia will come in handy if we have to use hexadecimal numbers.

@handyandy saidI suppose they are a bit intimidating to the uninitiated...but don't seem all that hard once you get the hang of them.
