I'll pass it over to you as you all seem to be flummoxed!
The answer I was looking for was 999 thousand million!
I will assume that I should ask the next one. An easy one but I want both correct answers.
I have a log of wood eight feet long. I cut it exactly in half. I then cut those two pieces exactly in half. I then cut those pieces exactly in half. How long is each piece of wood?

What was it that William the Bastard did that was described as his 'cruelest act and a stain upon his soul'?
