If you wrote down the names of the numbers in order, ONE, TWO, THREE, etc., the first letter that appears is O, then N, E, T, etc. The letter A does not appear until ONE THOUSAND. What would be the last letter to appear in the list?

I can't find any for 'd', 'j', 'k', nor would I be able to "count" up to a 'zillion' to use the 'z'. But you could have started counting from 'zero'

My bet is on 'c' for 'centillion - a one followed by 300 zero's, if that exists at all.

ps. how do you say 101 in english? Isn't that 'one hundred and one', producing the first 'a' instead of in 'thousand'?

isn't a google large (1 followed by a million zero's), which would be the first "G"?

Perhaps you should read the question again. 'google' ends with 'e', so if the list ended with 'google', the last letter on the list would be an 'e'.

I'm not sure if the question is saying implicitly that the list ends at 'one th ...[text shortened]... s on to infinity, so I'd guess the last letter would be 'y'. 😵

Doesn't A appear first in one hundred And one ?

the answer is C

octillion (both English and USA)

according to

(No J, K or Zs)

That's what I thought
