I was going to ask if a bajillion was a number, but ah well..

I will note, however, that M = 1,000,000 (10^6) and not 106. A fairly obvious typo to me, but perhaps that helps.

Be it noted that you, sir, have one sadistic friend..

(Just looking over the numbers again, but wouldn't E=1?)

I also make one other note with regards to this problem.

If Z = 0, then I submit that that might change 3 of the other values as well, in order to be consistent.

Yes, looking back, E = 0 or at least 1, but not 3

A = 101
