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?

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.
