What, Avagadro's number? (Or however the hell you spell it...)

Apparently, there's a class of groups which can be completely classified
into something like 6 different kinds, except for a small handful of
unique groups that don't fit this classification. The "monster group" is
the largest such - and it's frickin' HUGE!
Wait - you know what a group is, right?

I fail.

I'm fairly sure it's rest mass, yes. Basically, number of atoms times
mass of an atom.
