This sentence is incorrect
"On the fortieth square the king would have had to put 1,000,000,000 grains of rice."

To be correct it should read:

"On the thirieth square the king would have had to put 1,000,000,000 grains of rice."

or

"On the fortieth square the king would have had to put 1,000,000,000,000 grains of rice."
