Bill Gates can easily n-trouple his fortune by transfering his money to a European Bank.
Before transfer: 46 000 000 000
After transfer: 46.000.000.000.000

ArosaMike said:DJ said:It depends on in which language the bet was made
1 bilion in English spoken countries = 10^9
1 bilion in all other countries = 10^12
It's only the USA that use the 10^9 (a thousand million). Us Brits are sensible and don't miss numbers out As far as I'm concerned 1 billion is one million million (10^12)

About a billion minutes ago, the Roman Empire was flourishing. (One billion minutes is roughly 1,900 years.)

Hits counted by statcounter.com, as there are only 6 billion people on the planet, I have set a cookie time between each persons counted hit to 1 hour
So that means each hour you can go back and it will count.
