0 Guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The number contains one instance of all the digits in the Base ten counting scale in alphabetical order, by definition this can only occur once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough one. I'm pretty sure it's not Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish, although I'm not certain of alphabetical order for a few of those languages. I was hoping your member profile would give it away, but no such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Whats so hard the reason its only one of its kind is because in the infinite series of numbers 1- to what ever, there can only be one 8,549,176,320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 It is the only integer between 8,549,176,321 & 8,549,176,319. This may sound dumb but it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think that doesn't make it a special number. Probably, you could say a unique integer number ... the special "thing" shows the number as some property other numbers don't have. From the previous posts, I can see that "The first letter of its english names are in alphebetical order." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 My first answer was: The only number that contains all the digits only once that is also divisible by 10. I have seen a lot of other puzzles that have to do with English representation of numbers but this puzzle is not written well to count out the possibility of other reasons for it being unique. I don't think there is any way of changing the wording without giving hints to the answer so I think we should just call it a nice try, but not a real puzzle. -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know the solution to this one. It's not French, German, Italian, English or any Slavic language, someone stated that it wasn't Greek or Dutch, I just checked, it's not Hungarian, so I guess it's not Finnish also. I suppose it's not Indoeuropean at all Well, it's a linguistic puzzle now, not a logic one, but I'd like to know the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 They are follow alphabetical order: 0=zero 1=one 2=two 3=three 4=four 5=five 6=six 7=seven 8=eight 9=nine after sorting by alphabet (accending) eight=8 five=5 four=4 nine=9 one=1 seven=7 six=6 three=3 two=2 zero=0 which become 8,549,176,320 !!

Wow, that is tough! I found this website with the 200 or so most popular languages and I couldn't find it. I most likely overlooked it though. I was excited when looking at Hungarian, but it fell through. Hawaiian also is kinda close, but didn't hold up either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I am not sure how to phrase this but it is the only number divisble by all 1-9 digits containing all 0-9 digits. basically since you can't divide a number by 0 this number can be divided by all digits from 1-9.
