What is special about the number 854917632?

(I hope others start posting some lateral puzzles that we haven't yet seen because I'm going to run out of them soon! Duh )

Yeah,Cricket, I had that same problem. And I can't answer this one, cause I already saw the answer somewhere else. I think this one is hard.

This puzzle is a tough one; perhaps that's why so few guesses are being ventured. Duh

If no one posts further guesses by tomorrow, I'll post the answer along with a new puzzle. idea

I agree with G-Mom, it has numbers 1 to 9. Could it be that the arrangement of the 9 numbers is not numerical but alphabetical?

You got it, G-Mom! thumbup idea

Here's another:

A man finds a $20 bill but instead of being happy, he sinks into a depression.

He realizes it came from his wallet and that the rest of his money has blown away

That would work, Shani. But let's assume the money was not found in any of his current possessions. grinnnn

Did the man get robbed and all he has left to his name is the $20?

The man probably found a $20 bill with my picture on it instead of Jackson. One look at the picture and he went into shock...heh heh heh...the shock caused the depression.


The real truth is, I don't have the answer yet.

ROFL.! That's a good one, Jenn!

My guess: He finds it in the suit jacket he's wearing which he took out of his closet that morning, but he knows he didn't have 20 bucks in his jacket, so he realizes he must be wearing another man's jacket, and his wife must be having an affair. Okay, that may be a little far-fetched.....

ROFL! laugh I love all those answers better than the "real" one!

Okay, here's a clue:

It has to do with the man's profession and a tracking method.

He's part of the mob and that's how they tell a member of the mob that they are going to get "taken care of" next???

hehe i like the mob one,
but i want to expand on the counterfeit one that not only is he counterfeiter but in the process of exchanging fake money foe real money he's only got fake money back.

He, he, he, these answers are really GREAT! laugh

Another clue:

The money is real and the denomination is irrelevant.

No one is after the man and he is NOT involved with any illegal activity.

My earlier clue, especially the part about the tracking method, is RELEVANT.

There is a reason he did NOT want to find the money...why?

IS the man a police officer, who has put a tiny tracking device on the bill in hopes of chatching someone else only he filndds the bill which means he's lost the crook?
