Ken's POTW
Alphabetical Numbers
- What numbers, when written alphabetically (i.e. "one", "two", etc.),
have their letters in alphabetical order?
- The numbers from 1 (one) to 1,000,000 (one million) are written
alphabetically, then they are put in alphabetical order. [In this
puzzle, consider spaces to come before the letter a.
For example, "Nine thousand, four hundred, thirty-six" comes
before "Nineteen".]
- What number comes first in this list?
- What number comes last?
- At what position is the number "one" in this list?
