In this context, an oodleplex is more than the number of moments which may be imagined in a yonk.

This statement doesn't make sense, does anyone have a quote?

I thought that Lu-Tze defined an oodleplex as the biggest number you can think of in a yonk.

'Exactly. Well done,' said Lu-Tze. He took a deep breath. 'It's also the time it takes for the whole universe to be destroyed in the past and rebuilt in the future. Don't look at me like that - that's what the abbot said.'

'Has it been happening while we've been talking?' said Lobsang.

'Millions of times. An oodleplex of times, probably.'

'How many's that?'

'It's one of the abbot's words. It means more numbers than you can imagine in a yonk.'

'What's a yonk?'

'A very long time.'
