If ALL of the whole numbers [0, 1, 2, 3, … , infinity] were written out and spelled in American English (and there are an infinite number of them, including such monsters as five hundred sixty-three trillion two hundred forty-nine billion sixty million one hundred sixty-seven thousand four hundred and nine [which looks like 563,249,060,167,409]) – and then alphabetized,
(a) what would be the first number on the list,
(b) what would be the second number on the list, and
(c) what would be the last number on the list (as if you’re ever going to get there – bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!).
Note that if we were only alphabetizing 4, 5, 14, 50, 60 and the monster, they would go fifty, five, [the monster: five hundred…], four, fourteen and sixty ( = 50, 5, [563,249,060,167,409], 4, 14 and 60).
