Stars in the Universe?

How many stars do you think there are in the universe? Please don't just say 'infinite', 'too many to count' etc.

Thanks

Update:

I am not looking for an answer just an opinion. Thanks to those who have answered

    A sky survey done some years back estimated that there are 70-sextillion stars in the observable universe.

    There have been many people who have tried to answer the question but I have seen quite a few cite this as their answer 50,000 billion billion and that estimate is for the observable universe.

    A billion billion. That's 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. So, grasp the concept of a billion billion, then think of 50 thousand of those. Easy!

    However this number may be way way higher if inflation theory is true.

    There are about 10^12 stars in our galaxy. other galaxy have even more stars.

    lol, there is no way to know at this point. If we find the "edge" of the universe then we could estimate, but no answer is correct. I would guess 100,000,000 -100,000,000,000,000,000 stars?

    That is a pointless question ask you will never get the correct answer, and that it is exactly what you do not whant to hear. So why ask in the first place.
