A picture of a moot game

The critically-acclaimed board game MooT consists of tough questions about the nuances of the English language.

Answer: no

One photo is worth a terahit.

The base unit metric prefixes for non-fractions and their US nomenclature are:

deka (10),

hecto (10**2),

kilo (10**3 or thousand),

mega (10**6 or million),

giga (10**9 or billion),

tera (10**12 or trillion),

peta (10**15 or quadrillion), and

exa (10**18 or quintillion)

-- where ** means "to the power of."

Please note that these are draft questions for the board game MooT.

Feedback

It used to be that a picture was worth a thousand words. Now, with Photoshop and digital cameras, spectrum filters on spacecraft, and so on, it might *require* a thousand words in order to understand the genesis of a picture.
