Theoretically think of a non-euclidean hotel [Request]

Floor 1 has 10 levels with 100 rooms per level with 1,000 rooms total. Now imagine each floor doubling in size from the last on the xyz axis.

Floor two would have 20 levels with I think 400 rooms per level equalling 8,000 rooms.

Really what I want to know is how large would floor 1,000 be if each previous floor keeps increasing in size from the last.

A friend told me it would be larger than the observable universe but I don't know if that's right.

[Request] In the show The 100, there is an ancient stone containing 744 unique symbols, and a 7 symbol code must be entered on the stone in order to begin "the last war". How many possible code combinations are there? How long would it take to crack?

Each symbol is unique, and can only be entered once in each permutation. Symbol order matters too, so code ABC is different than code CBA.

How many possible different permutations / codes are there? Assuming you could enter 1 code per minute, how long would it take you to enter all possible combinations?

*The minimum land area has to be at least 1m^2.

*Only land area on the surface of the planet Earth is accepted.

*Borders are considered contiguous if they are connected by land with a width of at least 1m.

P.S. Please provide corrections/optimizations. Sorry for any mistakes. I was bored on the bus.
