First class

Define the letter class of a whole number as the number of letters in that number. For example, the letter class of 16 (Sixteen) is 7, while the letter class of 7 (seven) is 5 and the letter class of 300 (three hundred) is 12. There is only one number between 1 and 5,000 that is theonly representative of it's class. Care to find it?

I'll put a hint in the comments section.

  1. Um, what about four?

  2. 3000 is the number we're looking for with a letter class of 13.

    Four isn't in the letter class 13. I know, I know, this one was a lot harder than the normal ones you see around here.

  3. Oh, I get it, 3000 is the only number with a class of 13, not the number that is the same as its class.
