crore is a word for 10 million?

[grumpy01]

Thanks for reply JJ.However I should have added its 5 Letters only.

[JJ109]

No problem, Grumpy!

[grumpy01]

Thanks also ael,will ponder on this as the word I am looking for has to rhyme with a word for very drunk (7).

[fiction-factory]

10ms could also be ten milliseconds or a centi second but that is more than 5 letters.
ael's looks more promising if the setter means 10 millions by 10 ms. I can't think of a 7 letter rhyming word that means very drunk

[fiction-factory]

The only 7 letter word for very drunk that i can think of is SLOSHED

[cashier]

Jiffy and squiffy (for drunk)

[grumpy01]

Think that looks a possibility Cashier.Thank you all for your answers.

Excellent answer cashier

Early microcomputer systems such as the Commodore 64 and many game consoles (which use televisions as a display device) commonly synchronize the system interrupt timer with the vertical frequency of the local television standard, either 59.94 Hz with NTSC systems, or 50.0 Hz with most PAL systems. Jiffy values for various Linux versions and platforms have typically varied between about 1 ms and 10 ms, with 10 ms reported as an increasingly more common standard in the Jargon File

[donny48]

Am I wrong in thinking the first word means 10ms, in which case how does jiffy answer that ?

[donny48]

Crossed post with JJ's brilliant answer.

[cashier]

Thanks JJ.
