    $\begingroup$ Sorry for the ambiguous formulation. I meant 100 as a number. The "a" in "a hundred" was superfluous. I corrected it now. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ So it can be made smaller than 100? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ In my opinion hint 1 shouldn't be a hint, it restricts the possible solutions (see @CG. answer; it works but not with the hints) so it should be part of the main riddle $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @JakeRobb I'm sure that the point of a hint is not restricting the possible solutions, but to restrict our focus to get the solution. A puzzle with many possible solutions are highly discouraged (and may be closed as "too broad".) A puzzle should have a single correct solution, and hints are given to make us easier getting that correct solution. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Based on the title, I wanted the answer to be "milli-" as a prefix meaning 1/1000, but also about half of the word "million" :( $\endgroup$
