Depending on long and short scale, a billion is a trillion. Why can't they just make a single number that is what it is Roll Eyes

Usually I only ever work in numbers up to a few hundred billion (astrophysics is a large bit of science) and go down to a couple of femto. I miss the days of maths being '2+2' Tongue

Even stranger is that one trillion of any small denomination would likely take over 100 years to mint. Shocked

(and at a cost of many millions.)

1915 - 20.429 German Reichsmarks = £1

1924 - 19,000,000,000 (Nineteen billion) German Reichsmarks = £1

It's a chart. On the internet. So it must be true.

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.
