I didn't even have the time to give this a thought!

But I think I know the answer ;)

Spoiler below:

eighteen billion eighteen thousand eight hundred eighty five

Unk - so close... but not quite right! Remember you can't use the term "eighteen hundred" - that would be "one thousand eight hundred."

Just one minor detail left to fix - the list goes only from one to one billion.

Last try (for reals this time) -
Eighteenmillion eighteen?
(18,000,018)

Unknown008 · Jun 21, 2011, 11:36 AM

Ah okay, there's just the first two words to remove.

And that's not odd aliseaodo :p

aliseaodo · Jun 21, 2011, 11:36 AM

Arrrrrgh! That's not an odd number!! I really thought I had it there...
Okay, okay last attempt (again)
Eighteen million eleven?
(18,000,011)

Hint - "eighteen thousand" comes before "eleven"

Unknown008 · Jun 21, 2011, 11:40 AM

If you want to see the answer, highlight my last posts. There should be something appearing out of the blue! ;) (both literally and figuratively :p)

But it's a spoiler, don't say I didn't warn you :)

I thought this was strict alphabetical, not numerical. (By "first" I mean the first alphabetically.) M comes before T.

ebaines · Jun 21, 2011, 11:43 AM

WG - what I meant is that "eighteen million eighteen thousand (and whatever)" comes before "eighteen million eleven."

Well OK, if you're giving up... the answer is below, but hidden using white font so as to not spoil it for others. You can see it either by high-lighting it (hold down the left mouse button and sweep over it) or by hitting "Quote User."

I know how to see the "hidden" message. Even though Unky solved it, the contest is still going? Okay.
