[QUOTE]Originally posted by akb1979: [QB] Sorry, but that sounds like crap - no offence intended or directed to AndrewR or anyone. Here's what I found from the trusty dictionary; 10^33 = 1 decillion (USA) 10^30 = 1 quintillion (UK) / 1 nonillion (USA) 10^27 = 1 octillion (USA) 10^24 = 1 quadrillion (UK) / 1 septillion (USA) 10^21 = 1 setillion (USA) 10^18 = 1 trillion (UK) / 1 quintillion (USA) 10^15 = 1 quadrillion (USA) 10^12 = 1 billion (UK) / 1 trillion (USA) 10^9 = 1 billion (USA) 10^6 = 1 million Of course I feel neither the UK or USA versions are right. Well, the UK billion probably is, but the rest isn't. Look - 100 = 10*10, 1,000 = 100*100, 1,000,000 = 1,000*1,000 - see a pattern? 1 billion would be 1,000,000*1,000,000 = 1^12, Therefore 1 trillion would be a billion*billion = 1^24, a quadrillion would be 1^48, a quintillion = 1^96, and so on. Now that's the true an' proper scale me thinks. Ah well, I can but dream of someone getting it officially right. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
