I've tried

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

the usual turning numbers into letters thing, first with the difference between the written and actual totals, which gave me EDBATOED...

... which doesn't seem to be anything. I've gotten similarly nowhere with using

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

the correct totals...

... and wouldn't

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

using millions just add a bunch of meaningless zeroes

Your second tactic seems like it should have given part of the correct answer. What result did it give you?

Also, the part about billions . . .

Is only important for the sake of the final answer.

For those who are stuck, a tip:

A figure in parentheses means you subtract that figure.

So far I have

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

584,761 / 604,342 / 609,471 / 863,636 / 672,457 / 767,685 / 95,945 / 863,630

which gives me, um,

by the "usual" method. Feeling exceptionally stupid on this one!

Take your eight totals and calculate the deltas from what is shown. You get eight letters but I'm damned if I can figure out how to type them for the win.

If the eight letters are the right ones, it would look like a word. That by itself, however, is not the answer.

Got it! Thanks! Turns out my initial thinking was pretty close before I started mucking it up and making it more complicated.

Darn. Didn't know how I could have missed such an obvious one compared to the other better hidden seals.
