Jack and I are always interested in odd facts about numbers (or odd facts about even numbers, or even peculiar facts about odd numbers).
This is a quirk of the number 40 which, as you can see above, can be made into delicious party food. I should say it's a quirk of the number 'forty' because it relates specifically to the spelling.
The letters in FORTY are arranged in ascending alphabetical order.
That might not look so special at first glance, but in fact it's the only number where that is true.
