The Number Line (Posted on 2003-05-17) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Of those numbers whose English representation in Capital Block Letters consists only of straight lines, only one number has a value equal to the number of straight line segments required to write it out. What number is this?

(Note: Hyphens '-' are not to be counted as a Line Segment).

confusing... | Comment 5 of 9 |
the answer should be 29... TWENTY NINE... but if the letter I is considered to be made of 3 parts... then the answer is not 29 and i'll have to keep looking... another answer could be TWENTY SIX if you wrote out the letter S in block, as the word twenty consists of 18 lines and then the word six of 8 lines
