The question is how can you get everyone in the already full hotel?

Is it a CY Hotel??? ... wellmif it were a CY restaurant, they could find space for extra tables and chairs from somewhere.

nobody found the correct answer! I will give you a clue: In the USA the name of this number starts with D, in Europe it starts with C. In the UK, they don't have a name for this number ... they express this number as a Thousand of something else. Side note: Did you know that in Britain a Billion is a number 1000 times bigger than an American Billion? :shock:

Well am flummoxed with the name, but on the side-note, there was a time when a GB billion was a 1000 times bigger than a US one, but nowadays modern English has it as the same in GB, 1000 million.

An American billion is correctly called a milliyard in English. Money traders shorten that to a 'yard'.

How many noughts are their there? I suspect that (like me) none of the idle burgers (sic) on this forum can be burgered (sic) to count them.
