A CC is a cubic centimeter - same as a milliliter. Cripes, I though only us
Yanks were confused by the metric system!
Here's a link to a discussion re the minimum amount of rodinal needed:
http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=005EIh
here's a quote from an Agfa rep:
in our technical data we mention that 500 ml concentrate of RODINAL will
last for 50 films (135-36). That means that you need 10 ml concentrate to
process 1 film. It does not matter what the dilution is. Important is that
you are using 10 ml concentrate. For example if you are processing with a
dilution of 1+50 than you need 10 ml concentrate plus 500 ml water so that
you will have in total 550 ml solution to process your film. Why is it
important to take 10 ml because these 10 ml contain the amount of substances
which will be used to process your film correctly and with reproducible
results. It can be that you will get good results with less than 10 ml as
mentioned in one answer but to be sure we recommend 10 ml. I hope this will
answer your question. If you have further questions please do not hesitate
to contact me.
My tanks take ~900 ml of fluid total. So, at 1:100, I fall short of the
required 10 ml (cc) required. Probably not a problem for 24 exposure rolls
of 35mm film.

That could have been the problem. I don't remember the exact number of
"raw" Rodinal per one film, but it should be listed in Agfa's
literature IIRC. And even if I remembered, I don't know what CC means
- ml for me ;-))
Good light!
