if half the country is there , i think 100 circuit is yet enough.
there's 60 million people in shanghai .

I'm afraid the population of the world isn't even 1 billion!

The population of China is over one thousand million though. Only India comes close to it, with a population of over eight hundred million.. well on its way to that thousand million mark!

no mate. the population over 6 billion. India reached a billion in the last year or so.

you are thinking of the "a billion is a million million" it isn't

If the world had over six billion people in it, we'd be in *very* serious trouble! lol

Yes. A billion is a bi-million: a million to the power of 2 ("bi-".

A thousand million is... let me think about this ... a thousand million! Its easy when you think about it... one thousand times one million.

my god... such big stands... the whole world can watch the race live i guess...

Not for a few thousand years! That's 1,000s of years by the way.

The world's population only surpassed six thousand million a few years ago. Its got a long way to go before it gets anywhere near even one billion! lol

Hey
according to official figures the population is 6billion if you go by the calculation of 1000million=1billion

A billion, in America, is a thousand million. That would be written

1,000,000,000


In England, the British define a billion as a million million. That would be 1,000,000 times 1,000,000 which would be written as

1,000,000,000,000.


A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its press releases:

A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it.

Now that thats sorted can we get back to talking about the track???

This is indeed true, although Billion for 1,000,000,000 issimply more commonly used worldwide. Incidentally, both terms were invented by the French (According to the Oxford Dictionary )

According to the International Programs Center, U.S. Bureau of the Census, the total population of the World, projected to 6/3/04 at 9:48:51 GMT (6/3/04 at 5:48:51 AM EDT) is


6,372,176,425

Can we get back to talking about the track now?

lol that's like asking for a kick in the nuts..

That would be some calculation! Turning a thousand million into a billion!

Are you also able to feed 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish? Perhaps by making a calculation of 5 = 5,000 and 2 = 2,000 or something..?
