    If you write it out in english words the first letter of each number is in alphabetical order?

    Nope...that's true of many numbers. Like 854917632 for example. Or 549176320.

    It must be something to do with primes or summat. Dunno I'm crap at maths.

    Ok, it's all the digits in alphabetical order then.

    Good Job!

    That riddle messed with my head for the longest time.

    Yes, the number has all the numbers in it from 0-9 and they are in alphabetical order...if the first letter is the same then the next letter is in order.

    8 = Eight
    5 = Five
    4 = Four
    9 = Nine
    1 = One
    7 = Seven
    6 = Six
    3 = Three
    2 = Two
    0 = Zero
