Moser's polygon notation is a means of expressing certain large numbers. It's the obvious extension of Steinhaus polygon notation:
n written in an (m+1)-gon means "n in n m-gons".

n in a triangle means nn

n in a square means "n in n triangles"

n in a pentagon means "n in n squares"

etc.

Moser's number is "2 in a Megagon", using Steinhaus' Mega.
