How many MonoLiths are in a MegaLith? And how many MegaLiths are in a GigaLith?

There are definitely 1000 megaliths in a gigalith. Mono- is not a metric prefix, so I’m not sure what the unit conversion is on that one.

Mono is singular, so as soon as you have more than one it's no longer a monolith.... maybe the 1-9 prefixes then decalith (and hectolith?) to plug it into the metric world?

Took me a minute to figure out what the hell I was looking at! :lol:

mono = single = 1 lith.
There are definitely 1000 megaliths in a gigalith.
no. (although I wish it were true, and agree with the sentiment you might be implying.) regretfully, a Megalith can also be 1024 kiloliths. :( but you'll have to blame MS or IBM or some such.
