 I had that in a quiz recently.....as what is the first number to have all its letters in alphabetical order.....didn't have too long to work it out through a process of elimination.

 I'll remember the next time....

its also that game where one kid stands at a lampost and the others go off and hide. the hiders then try to get to the lampost and say "forty forty in" while the counter comes looking for you all. hours of childhood fun.
