As Easy as A. B. C.

The math teacher Mr. Menon was not feeling well, so he asked the class to find out four numbers, a number in the spellings of English counting which has "A" in it, a number which has "B", a number which has C, and a number which has D in it.

The students were, sure busy for the whole period. What would you say ?

1st number with c would be cinquillion (1000000000000000000)
1st with d would be decillion

It says 'has D in it', not 'has one D in it'.
If you said that cookies had sugar crystal in them, does that mean they have one sugar crystal in them?
Hundred 'has D in it'.

Mr. Know it All, you need to consider a name change.....


The first D is one hunDred
The first G is eiGht (way off!)
The first N is oNe (duh)
The first U is foUr (again, way off!)
The first V is in fiVe (close, but still wrong)
The first W is in tWo (also close, also wrong)
The first X is in siX (way off!)


way to go know-it-all.. you got 7 wrong, all of which a kid in second grade could've figured out
