3. :D
1,000 Thousand
1,000,000 Million
1,000,000,000 Billion
1,000,000,000,000 Trillion ---> Closest number, and still probably low for the actual bailout amount, especially when the credit card market crashes.

7. 3 for hundred, 3 for thousands, 3 for millions, plus 2 for the ones in 800 ...
... so, 11 zeroes are in 800 billion.

9. As many as you like. After the decimal point of course.

Also depends on whether you're talking an American or British Billion.

American Billion:   $800,000,000,000.00
British Billion: £800,000,000,000,000.00

Except the UK government tend to use the American billion these days...

Mark.
