No, it's right
The most POWERFUL computer in the world says so.
Cheer up and have some bonus Nork Sponging.

I'd still rather stare at little she-norks

you don't get it
The most powerful computer in the world wouldn't give the correct answer; it would take advantage of gullible idiots like those two.

Well, the English billion is 1 million times 1 million (1,000,000,000,000), and I think the English trillion is 1 billion by 1 billion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
The US trillion is the same as the English billion (12 zeroes).
Therefore, 5 US trillions times 3 US trillions
(5,000,000,000,000 x 3,000,000,000,000)
Is equal to 15,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, or 15 English trillions.
Note that this calculation relies on the English trillion actually being equal to the square of the English billion.
Edit: damn British number system. Supposedly the English trillion is 10^18, not 10^24. Please disregard the above post.

no one really uses the Brit. versions of billion etc. anymore, so
1 billion = 1'000 million
1 trillion = 1'000 billion

1 trillion = 1'000 billion
Yupyup,
that's the reason I wasn't sure of the Brit trillion until I checked, after having posted.

In that case, there's a lot less money in my bank account than I thought there was.

3 trillion times 5 trillion = 1.5 × 10^25
which is 15,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
