Hi Doug, List,
What do you mean with many Europeans consider the billion with 12 zeros ?
Billion is called Milliard (and subsequent language variations) and has 9
zeros, like Giga.
All the best

Here in Spain a billion is also 10^12, a literal translation from what we call
10^9 here would be a thousand millions.
BTW, a real binary gigabyte is not 10^9

Hi Matt and List,
Here is the catch-22 that this auction represents :
If eBay were to crack down on fake meteorites and remove these bogus
listings, they would undoubtedly remove many legitimate listings as
well. This would create a hassle for legit sellers offering genuine
meteorites. Worse,
I don't know about other countries, but in Sweden we have :
Miljon = 10^6
Miljard = 10^9
Biljon = 10^12

Yes, there are fossils everywhere north of Vegas. They have an area that looks
like a miniature Grand Canyon. People are riding motorcycles and quad runners
all over fossil camels and mammoths and do not have a clue. They have also

Thanks for all of your kind replies. I thought it was a pretty cool
discovery too.
I will have to get the okay from the agency before I post pictures. I

Hi Doug,
I'm not sure about China, but counting large numbers in Japanese is indeed
based on 10^4 increments:
1,000 = 1 sen
10,000 = 1 mahn
100,000 = 10 mahn
1,000,000 = 100 mahn
10,000,000 = 1 sen mahn
100,000,000 = 1 oku
I believe it's similar in some other Asian languages, as well.
