Creator here. Surprised to see this on HN. This was about a morning's work, intended as a joke incremental game. Please don't judge it too seriously.

You are a horrible person, but I finally achieved my goal.
My most interesting finding was that we started losing precision before switching to exponentional notation. The former happened around the 10^17 mark, the latter around the 10^19 mark.
It would be great to see the formula for the cost for exponents as well. How do you calculate/increase it?
It is close to 1.5 times, but not quite, it grows slowly.
[Here's the formula](https://github.com/fredley/exponent/blob/master/main.js#L64), I came up with a basic exponential growth equation and tweaked it so that the speed of growth felt about right.
