Unseen University beat Ankh-Morpork United, but while there was no magic, there was a certain amount of trickery involved.

I posted aliens ( as in ten million aliens ) as a SWAG then I saw your post and immediately deleted it - never heard of crores so well done.

I clearly hang around QA too much - lazy Indian students use "crores" a lot ...

I already knew the term, from working with a dev team in Bangalore some years ago. But I cam across it again yesterday ...

Why lazy? I prefer millions and billions myself, but why is using crores lazy?
Cheers,
Vikram.

It's not the crores that are lazy - it's the students!

This one[^] met with stony silence, but maybe it helped today.

I remember yours and guessed the answer to this one as soon as I saw it, but I was still hours late.
Ten million is one crore though, so I disagree with the usage of the plural here.
Cheers,
Vikram.

Richard,
Why Crores rather than Crore? Ten million is a crore, singular.
Cheers,
Vikram.

Hi Vikram, Yes I know, but I had to fit it to the clue, so I used a little poetic licence. I hope I did not offend too many of our Indian friends.
|
|
|
|
|
Haha, there is no way this would give offence.
Cheers,
Vikram.

You would be amazed at the things some people are offended by.

You move your beer out of the way but the cursor is still obscuring that word you're trying to read.
