She said 10 to the 15. 10^15

  To be fair I also heard 10-15 on the first pass and then had to think about it for a second.

    That's because she actually said "ten to the fifteen" not "ten to the fifteenth", so you have to decide if you autocorrect by removing the "the" -> "ten to fifteen" or by adding the "th" -> "ten to the fifteenth". Easy to get confused.

      "Ten to the fifteen" is also correct, and in my experience more common. It's short for "ten to the power of fifteen", whereas "ten to the fifteenth" is short for "ten to the fifteenth power".
