Here's one you've probably seen before....
If you look at all infinite integers by their number name (ex. 2 - two), alphabetically which is:
1) First
2) Last?

Billion is not a name of a number - it is name of a "place" (where I wish I could take vacation). However, One bilion two, is name of a number which will follow "eight" alphabetically. Similarly "a billion" (as in a billion dollar note) will not be a number.

Same logic for Zillion - however I don't know what that is - need to get help of Google now.....

As Johnny Carson used to say: WRONG, DOGBREATH!.

The first one is ALEPH EIGHT.

The question said INFINITE integers, and eight and zero are finite.
