Re: What is it
While ignoring that it was easier to count flies and multiply by 6. Since they can regenerate limbs that assumption is a very safe one. I expect you could do it by weighing the flies as well or getting them to fly past a counting beam, drawn by some nice smelly stuff on the other side.
But then I'm thinking like a biologist, not an auditor. I was friendly with a girl at university whose father was Auditor General of NZ, very nice guy. But then NZ is that kind of place.
