AnswerMug Challenge Series, Numbered Letter Edition: when written out, how many numbers have the same amount of letters in them?


  The fewer letters there are, the easier this is, and since numbers are infinite, the possibilities increase as more letters are used. Even so, let's see how many we can collectively list. 

Example: one, two, six, and ten each have 3 letters; zero, four, five, and nine each have 4 letters. Jumping way ahead, twenty-eight, twelve million, and three hundred eighty-eight have 11, 13, and 23 letters respectively. Other numbers that also have 11, 13, or 23 letters match up to their sets. 

RULES:
1. English language only
2. Whole numbers only, no fractions, decimals, etc
3. Hyphens and spaces do not count as letters
4. Re-read rule number 6
5. Unless you skipped ahead reading the rules, you haven't yet read rule number 6
6. But now you have.
7. If you read number 4 and followed it, then you're really confused
8. Enjoy!

    The answer is one, and that one is four. :)  He asked "how many."  Everyone else is on a snipe hunt it seems.

    You looked it up.  Please say you did.  Or please say you are locked up in prison to spend this much time on this.

      Thank you. I was trying to avoid repetitive redundancy by not using the same or similar words and meanings and definitions more than once or over and over again after I had already written them or used them previously beforehand prior to the subsequent occasion or occurrence that preceded the later reiteration of the initial utilization the first time. Well, at least I don't write run-on sentences, I've got that much going for me.

    You're welcome. How's it going in the repetitively repeating section of the Department of Redundancy Department?

    Snore.  How proud you two must be.  Finding that and knowing the right word to use instead. I wish I were that smart.  Oh yeah.  I am.

    I hope you looked that up and did not spend the afternoon figuring this out.  Unless, of course you are in jail or something.
