The integers from 1 to N are written down in alphabetical order in English. ‘Two thousand and eleven’ is in position 2011. What is N ?
Reveal Solution
If N = 2011 then 2011 is only nine from the end. So we need to continue until exactly nine more numbers slot in before 2011. These will be 2018, 2080 to 2087. So N is 2087.
