Although it was corrected, 52,000 Ktons is 52 Megatons. You both are talking the same story. Geez, the math education in this country ...

I posted that while the other one was being posted so I did not see that correction.

However, it is appropriate to talk in terms of megatons, not thousands of kilitons.

If you win the 10 million dollar lotttery, are you going to scream "I won ten thousand thousand dollars!"

I didn't think so.

Also 104 billion pounds or 1.664 trillion ounces.
