Was the rumour of a cavorting couple on one of the balconies a wind-up? I've been looking for the last week....

Bindun. But why use the semi-ambiguous 'billion' and combine with a prefix? It's 24.9 petapixel, or 24.9 exapixel if you're using the old US definition of a billion.

Because people are familiar with the term megapixel, and how a billion of them scales from thier 10 magapixel phone camera. A petapixel though, 🤷‍♂️ ?

Bindun.

Sorry.

But why use the semi-ambiguous โ€˜billionโ€™ and combine with a prefix?

Really sorry.

Itโ€™s 24.9 petapixel, or 24.9 exapixel if youโ€™re using the old US definition of a billion.

NO! WAIT! Redeem yourself by revealing the location of the balcony and the cavorting couple.

Don't think so, the prefixes are defined by the SI and peta- is 10^15

Donโ€™t be rash, replace the footstool with a large block of ice and an electric fire...
(Not my original idea...)

..and a billion (10^9) mega (10^6) is 10^15 is it not?
