Super heavyweights (Part 1).


In "A Challenge Answered" in the May 1995 Word Ways, Darryl Darryl is a common English name from Old English and Old French origin, generally used for males, but also can be the name of a female. It was used since the time of the Norman Saxon invasion of England.  Francis Francis, French prince, duke of Alençon and Anjou

He reached 250, microminiaturisation Microminiaturisation is the common name given to the dramatic effect the microprocessor had on electrical devices in the 1970s and 1980s. Before this time many 'computerised devices' ran using valves and then in turn transistors. , but missed 249. In "Extending Francis" in August 1995, the editor collated responses from various contributors to fill that gap, extending the unbroken run to 354. In the February February: see month.  1997 Word Ways, I gave words matching numerical numerical

In the samples below, the continuous run is extended to 501; Part 2 considers larger numbers.

In selecting items from a list more than ten times the size, for each weight I have chosen one of the shorter items, then looked for items which came closer to the ideal of a single, non-hyphenated word in English 1.

The idea behind the term is that to a real hacker, a program written in his favourite programming language is . Thus, if the reader has an antipathy to, say, place names, he will still often have some items to ponder Ponder - A non-strict polymorphic, functional language by Jon Fairbairn <jf@cl.cam.ac.uk>.
