Iirc the book said the Eridians estimated it took about a year for Earth to get the Taomoeba to Venus. I propose that in the movie 9 months of that was watching the documentary footage to find out what the weird test tube was for and then the last 3 was slapping the delivery vehicle together as fast as possible with duct tape and spit The Martian style.

Goddamit i hate this fucking post. I hate it because obviously if “twelve” followed the same pattern as the other teen numbers it wouldn’t be “twoteen” it would be “seconteen”. Think about it. It’s not “threeteen” it’s “thirteen” as in “third”. It’s not “fiveteen” it’s “fifteen” as in fifth. So with that in mind, you count “first, second, third, fourth, fifth,” and so on, so eleven would be “firsteen” and twelve would be “secondteen” or “seconteen”. “Firsteen, seconteen, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen….” It just drives me absolutely mad everytime i see this post that this obvious pattern was overlooked and i cant hold in my rage anymore.

Consider thirteen:thirty and fifteen:fifty instead. So, rather, it should be twenteen on the model of twenty

Completely agree with twenteen, and it shouldn’t be second but twenth.
