There are several words in the English language that are meant to denote indeterminate numbers, but actually used to mean very specific amounts. I am giving you a few words today. Without googling, tell me the exact amount they denote:
1. Gross
2. Score
3. Myriad
However, if you do google, put in a word of appreciation for this question if you like it. Because clearly, you didn’t know that these were actual quantities!
Happy quizzing, and have a nice life,folks!
PS: Take a look at my article blog. I will have uploaded a couple more of my recent articles by the time you see them!

Only Siddharth aka life is a romance and Sunny Lyngdoh got it all correct.
1. Gross = a dozen of dozens = 12 X 12 = 144. (Yes, its the number of the post)
2. Score = 20.
3. Myriad = 10,000. (Old Greek denomination. See here)
GROSS:144
ReplyDeleteSCORE:20
MYRIAD:10000
Gross 144
ReplyDeleteScore 20
Myriad idk :P
guessing:
ReplyDeletegross - 144
score - 20
myriad - 1000
1. Gross - Fifty
ReplyDelete2. Score - Twenty.
3. Myriad - Half
The second I know is right, the rest are guesses.
Without googling, I know, Gross is 144 and Score is 20. Didn't know that Myriad represented a number too.
ReplyDeletegross - 144
ReplyDeletescore - 20
myriad - don't know
one zero less in that guess on myriad, actually
