Japanese uses different "groups" of powers of ten, maybe that tripped him up?

1; 10; 100; 1 x 1000; 10 x 1000

versus

1; 10; 100; 1000; 10000; 1 x 10000; 10 x 10000; 100 x 10000

No, the gui input field das just 100000000000 vs 10000000000. Oops

So 2048 instead of 1024?

Good one!

without any dots? in that case "losing track of zeroes" seems a valid excuse
