1) 2 = jokers in a ???? of cards?
2) 80 = minutes playing time of rugby league matches
3) 50 pounds to get out of jail (monopoly)
4) 40 = XL in Roman Numerals
5) 30,000 = feathers on a thrush'2 throat (an old tongue twister)
6)141 = number withheld
7)400 metres, circuuit of an athletic's track
8) 21 = key to the door

1000 megabits = 1 gigabit

Rod it would make it a lot easier for us to read if you posted the question in the details box and not the title box

[squarebear]

1000 megabytes in a gigabyte?

[dozyrozy]

try the ditloid droid I find it very useful with this type of question

[squarebear]

I'm glad you like it dozyrozy. I wrote that computer program!

[AB Editor]

That is a nice piece of kit SquareBear

[squarebear]

Cheers Ed. I get into Artificial intelligence as a hobby and that was one of the by-products from it.

[Rod Serling]

Thanks you guys! Just a couple more - 11) 50 P = a M 12) 1 = for S (M) 13) 9 = R in the G of C.

But surely there are 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte?

[squarebear]

There certainly are but it is a common (if incorrect ditloid).

[Touchstone]

The binary system that uses 1024 bits instead also uses different terminology. The kilobit becomes the kibibit; the megabit, the mebabit; and the gigabit, the gibibit.

[gen2]

So why not round off a few of the others as well?

such as 140 = number withheld ?
and 20 = key to the door ?
and 2 metres in a fathom ?

[squarebear]

many people believe there are 1000 megabytes in a gigabyte dues to the prefixes mega- and giga-
These are often confused in these type of questions.
