How much is a billion?
Re: How much is a billion?
Oh yeah this thing. As a bilingual person I think the same way as raocow, a billion is 10^9 in english, but 10^12 in swedish, however, a billion is still 10^9 to me because 10^12 is spelled biljon in swedish, poor french talking people having them spelled the same way. Oh wait I know a bit of french too, oh well french is like super weird with its numbers either way (I'm looking at you, 4 20 10 9 (quatre-vingt-dix-neuf)!).

I'm glad you didn't write a billion in hexademical and then convert it into a flag.pholtos wrote:Something like 111011100110101100101000000000 is a billion.
That's the first video nunber-related topic I wanted to post up here, but I didn't have the time nor the patience to convert "Hi there, everyone" into pure colour.

Wait. That second letter...
I'll stick to standard form... (I'll learn Japanese in summer. I have nothing else to do then)
(numbers above 10k are written in 10,000s and 100,000,000s)
I just know that one because of that one megaman-song xD

Re: How much is a billion?
If we used the long system, there would be zero billionaires in the world. If we can believe Wikipedia, there are more than zero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_billionaires
