You can never raise anything which isn't dimensionless (is a pure number) and expect to get the result mesured in the same units as the thing being raised is mesured in. Look at my 3:rd and 4:th post to see how I meant you have to write. <br /><br />Example: 3 minutes to the power 2 = 9 square-minutes.<br /><br />And you can't say: "Dinner is ready in 9 square-minutes!".Profetylennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683585215729355857.post-51928386022619039032010-01-20T12:58:28.583-08:002010-01-20T12:58:28.583-08:00Thanks for all of the interesting information (and...Thanks for all of the interesting information (and don't worry about quad posting).

Assuming you doesn't use other charchters other than letters, you multiply the amount of different passwords by 2 raised to the power 26.<br /><br />I cannot guarantee that this information is correct but I do think it is very much.

What is true is that the amount of different passwords is raised to a power of 26. You can't really raise time, since time is not dimensionless (it has a unit (e.g. seconds, minutes, years)). If you raise time you also raise it's unit, which means that if you try to raise 4 seconds to the power 2, the result would be 16 squre-seconds (=16 seconds^2) and so your result would have the wrong unit, since 16 square-seconds doesn't really tell you anything useful.<br />You could see why raising non-dimensionless numbers fails through noting the following:<br /><br />120 seconds = 2 minutes<br />120^2 = 14400<br />14000 seconds = 240 minutes<br />but,<br />2^2=4<br />4 minutes != 140000 seconds = 240 minutes<br /><br />What this means is that you get a different results depending on what unit you measure time in.Profetylennoreply@blogger.com
