That’s what HE said.
He said vintage, man!
1957 Camry is my answer.
First one, THEN the other!
Okay, how about this?
I am thinking of a number. If that number is spelled out, it has nine letters. Exactly five of those letters are vowels (a, e, i, o, or u). What is the number?
Eleventy-Eight
Denominator.
e minus one
or
one minus e
Nice try.
I wouldn’t even know how to think of this number… But I like the answer!
No complex mathematics here. The answer to the riddle is simple number. No joke!
Eighty-Thousand does it, and includes ‘y’. Eight-Thousand doesn’t have the ‘y’ but is a smaller number. I’m curious what the smallest such number is, but not curious enough to try to work it all out.
However the number must have only have nine letters…
I like the OP’s riddle better, it was a lot easier.
English?
Si.
112? (Spelled out as one one two)
“1 googol” fits the bill as well. I don’t think that’s what Biotop has in mind, though.
The number e - 1 is the limit of the series:
1 + 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/24 + 1/120 + … + 1/n! + …
Really, it’s a pretty simple number.
One googol is a good answer that fits the criteria. It is not the number I am thinking of, however.
“One eleven” for 111 is also possible, but I would argue that this integer should be written as “one hundred eleven” and therefore it is not an acceptable solution.
I can say this: The number I am thinking of would be written out the same way using the same nine letters by everyone – at least by everyone who can spell correctly. So no “one two one” for 121 etc.
Whole number?
Is it 9 letters long, or does it only use 9 different letters?
