Eh, at one point I did. I'll take your word for it. It seems familiar.
Now factor in number of rearrangements since the universe started. Or heck, let's keep it simple to the last 4.5 billion years.
I count about 30 atoms in a nucleotide, so X is a bit more than 10^523.
Let's say 2 rearrangements per day (this will vary dramatically, but I have to pull some number out of a hat). Over 4.5 billion years that's on the order of a bit more than 10^12. so X is around 10^511.

Yep, still more than astronomical.
