Time-Wasting Puzzle of the Day

By Eugene Volokh

ADVERTISEMENTS
(Eugene Volokh)

What is the smallest positive integer that, when written out in standard English, does not yield any Google searches? Do not use ?and?s, and do not use the format in which hundreds are counted using numbers greater than ten (e.g., ?forty two hundred eighty two? ? that?s acceptable standard English, but I just want to set it aside for purposes of the puzzle, because it?s a somewhat less common variant).

I got zero hits with ?fourteen thousand nine hundred eighty two? (just a bit of trial and error there), though obviously that number will have hits very soon, as a result of this post. Can you beat that? Please check your spelling before reporting victory.
