    Here's a curious dictionary: take all numbers from 1 to 10¹⁰ written out in English (e.g. 'four hundred') and sort them in alphabetical order (ignoring spaces and hyphens). This is the first odd number in the listpic.twitter.com/es3zMhFlrJ

        this is simply because the "e' in 'eight 'is first out of "o,t,t,f,f,s,s,e,n,t" and the 'b' in 'billion' is first out of all other possibilities after 'eight'

        So, I could start have a naming system where all even numbers started with b and odds with c, and then the infinity of evens would come before the first odd?

        8018018851 is first prime in alphabetical order in the English language: "eight billion eighteen million eighteen thousand eight hundred and fifty-one". It was found by Donald Knuth. All other numbers that occur earlier in alphabetical order (like 8 and 8018018881) are composite.

        Erm, surely then it should be “eight billion eighteen million eighteen thousand eight hundred and eighty five” in your example?.... I still think 8,000,000,005 is the first though
