its kinda sad wen i have to get a calculator out to see i got it wrong lol
I thought it was one hundred twenty-three thousand.
Pretty nice teaser, but very simple.
A nice teaser. But it was easy.
Nice one
Well, considering that when I read to "break the number in half," splitting the number into 123 and 456 was the thing that naturally came to mind, I don't see how this is much of a trick. Or a teaser of any sort.
