Actually the scores were only in excee of .23 billion (that's point-2-3-billion) or 230 thousand million.  This was a European contest and their billion has 3 more Zeros than ours.

Our Billion = 1,000,000,000
Theirs = 1,000,000,000,000

Or the corrected score of over 2 billion is really only .002 billion or 2 thousand million.

Should have, but couldn't resist.
