Did you find that out by Googling it?

Nope. I relied on

  1. a (vague) memory of Vilenkin's article #23 on the list in post #1:  Philosophical Implications of Inflationary Cosmology" (PDF),
  2. a sense for the size of the quantity Vilenkin was trying to quantify, and
  3. a sense for the way in which physicists approximate quantities.

But having just checked the article, the number appears near the bottom of page 3...
