In the city of Funkytown, the following facts are true:

No two inhabitants have exactly the same number of hairs.
No inhabitant has exactly 483,207 hairs.
There are more inhabitants than there are hairs on the head of any one inhabitant.

What is the largest possible number of inhabitants of Funkytown?

And it is interesting that this puzzle is difficulty 2, even though Funkytown is much bigger than Smallville, and Smallville's problem was difficulty 3.  I think that the perplexus community must be getting smarter.
