Lets get some replies going here, by playing the number game. Heres how it works... I saw a number, next person doubles it. The next person after that, doubles that number, and so on. Example: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc...
Lets see how high we can get. You may NOT post more than one answer in a row. You have to wait until someone else posts an answer before you can do another one. Go at it!

Sixty-five thousand, five hundred and thirty-six.

(My first time at an Australian school, my teacher bitched at me for not using the word 'and' when saying numbers out loud.)

Red~ That's odd, here we're taught not to say and unless there's a decimal place (thirty six and two tenths)

(Well what can I say? That same teacher told us that a circle had two sides - an inside and an outside. But the same didn't apply for any other shape. I think she's dead now.)

Five hundred and twenty four thousand, two hundred and eighty eight.

two million ninety-seven thousand one-hundred fifty-two.

Redlemons, It's actually incorrect to say "and" UNLESS you have a decimal place.
For instance: 101.73 is said: one hundred one and seventy-three hundredths.

Hey guys, it's really easy to screw you up huh? It's not because and error is made that you should propagate it

two million ninety-seven thousand one-hundred fifty-two. That one is good

times two =
four-million one-hundred ninety-four-thousand three hundred four.

times two =
eight million three hundred eighty eight-thousand six hundred eight.

Never used a calculator guys? No actually, me I didn't use one either, I simply know that mine is 2^24 and 2^24 is the magical number of colors that are used as reference on my screen as I write this. So if I don't get my precise number, which I knew as good, well, something was bound to smell fishy somewhere.

So mine is:

sixteen million seven hundred seventy-seven thousand two hundred sixteen
