In a similar vein, some time ago I tried to search for how many unicode code points there are with "How big is Unicode?" (https://www.google.com/search?q=how+big+is+unicode https://www.google.com/search?q=how+big+is+unicode)
Google helpfully responds "16 bits", which is pulled from the History section of Wikipedia and hasn't been accurate in something like twenty-five years.
Edit: Should have listened to people saying to screenshot your queries. Google still quotes the paragraph in question, and bolds "16 bits", but no longer puts it in a big bold heading like it's the single answer to your question.
Double Edit: except in chrome, where I do still get the old page. Here's a screenshot for posterity, after Google somehow fixes this: https://i.imgur.com/7Ng6DyK.png https://i.imgur.com/7Ng6DyK.png
