For what itā€™s worth I use ā€œSearch for pages written in any languageā€ and ā€œDo not filter my search results.ā€ Now I get 5 hits for that number, too. I think Iā€™ve copied a later attempt. :mad: The number I found must be close to that, only one or two digits changed, but I canā€™t find it now. Can I still say Iā€™ve won the game? šŸ™‚ ---

Hereā€™s a slightly larger one. 15377447 ---

> [@mkl12](#): > > Can I still say Iā€™ve won the game? šŸ™‚ Well youā€™re certainly the leader, but Iā€™m still looking for a new low. Are you mostly just searching for numbers that pop into your head, or do you have a logic? One of the sites in the OP mentioned writing a script to help the search. That is well beyond my current level of knowledge, but sounds promising in order to find the really lowest number. ---

OK. Iā€™ve reached a new low. 15357219 Something called ncbi seems to have used every number under 15357213. Well, ok, I canā€™t prove they used them all, but it sure seems it. ---

Oopsā€“ I just found a lower one within the territory I thought ncbi had covered up. 15357171 The elusive prey is still afoot. ---

15344130 Ncbi is almost everywhere. Almost. I found this by randomly changing the numbers. ---

Beat you by a few more: 15344109 and even better: 15344087 ---

Iā€™ve also found a window in the NCBI results, a _lot_ below thoseā€¦ sadly other sites are filling them at the momentā€¦ found plenty with only 2 or 3 results. ---

**Colophon** ,15344087 now gives one hit. I saw it with no hits earlier. I sometimes wonder how reliable Google hit counts are. It sure is hard to hit a changing/moving target! ---

Right now this number is a no hitter. Better not blink or it will go away. 15343990 ---

At any instant there is still a lowest missing number, and it would be fun to identify the lowest oneā€“but Iā€™m not suggesting that people NOT publish their normal pages, however questionable it looks to us (as in, what was the page you found doing that matters? I sure donā€™t know.) ---
