No, you were 'right' the first time. Good observation, though.

I want to see how many people say '9' or '12'.

I thought zero because the o is an 'oh' (letter) not a zero (number)?

Turn one billion light years into regular years and tell me how many zeros are in it.

I object 
I don't think there are many English-speaking places where the long scale is still commonly used. It's a bit tricky to get used to for me as Dutch uses long scale. Though I've just learnt by heart that a billion in English has 9 digits, for larger numbers it takes some difficulty going back and forward though...
