    let's race!

    Hi!

    this thread is intended to keep you away from the "the last one to post on this thread wins"-thread.

    here is the goal of the "race": the one, who finds the lowest number which doesn't produce any results on google, wins!

    (i hope i don't get in trouble with google for that at least, please don't use any scripts or the like to make automated queries to the search engine, they don't allow that, and besides that, it would make this an unfair race!)

    reboot, and everything is good

    well, no. i'd say to make it hard, only numbers without digits after the comma and leading zeros in decimal are allowed.

    @SuperKoko: 69694281 is very good it would be interesting how you found it. but i guess you won't tell us to preserve your chances to win...

    The empty string has no leading zero.
    And is the representation of the smallest non-negative integer.

    that's very good to hear! it leaves the chance for others to find even lower numbers.

    maybe the rules are a bit too wague. there must be at least one digit.

    Ah, okay... Did you mean that numbers with leading zeroes are not allowed, or are they?

    AFAIK, most servers reject URI whose length > 1 kilobyte.
