it's extremely obvious that you're incorrect if you simply look at the words, "centi" means "hundred" and is smaller than "milli" which means "thousand".

centipedes look like they have a hundred legs, millipedes look like they have a thousand legs.

Ah, but millimeters are 1/1000 of a meter, which means millipedes actually have 1/1000 of a leg /s
