If each zip can be either open or closed, then you should find 2^45000 different combinations of open and closed zips. (My calculator didn't want to know about that number, but trusty python didn't mind the calculation, and gave me a number in excess of 2.2*10^13546. To give you some idea of the scale of that number, the number of atoms in the entire universe has been estimated as being somewhere around 10^80. That's 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. In other words, Trent, you're f%*#ed.) I think your maths is a bit awry.
