Jan 12, 2017 at 21:42 comment added Melkor @IanMacDonald to quote my question, 'you must use an actual phrase that people use to refer to the number be it "thirteen", "bakers dozen" etc. and you can not use phrases that identify to the number like "days in a week" to refer to 7'
Jan 12, 2017 at 21:37 comment added Ian MacDonald @Marchhill Multiple words are okay? Then can't I just say "nineteen minus one plus one minus one plus one minus one ..." and cycle around all of them infinitely?

Jan 12, 2017 at 19:18 comment added GentlePurpleRain @Marchhill Please edit all of your rule clarifications into the question itself, so that people don't need to read through the comments in order to determine what the rules are.
Jan 12, 2017 at 19:15 comment added Melkor @Rubio a) yes b) yes c) no because this will break the question

Jan 12, 2017 at 19:12 comment added Deusovi @wildBillMunson: No, there is not. Just because you're enjoying a question doesn't mean it's appropriate for the site.

Jan 12, 2017 at 19:01 comment added wildBillMunson Is there a tag for a puzzle meant for light-hearted fun? I think some of us are enjoying this one, in spite of its broadness.
Jan 12, 2017 at 18:55 comment added GentlePurpleRain @Marchhill Note that this site frowns on puzzles that don't have a clear definition and a clear "best answer". Your puzzle criteria need to be well-defined enough that you can clearly say whether any answer qualifies and whether it is "better" than another answer. There should be no need for people to ask whether a certain word/phrase is allowed, because it should be spelled out in the question. Failure to sufficiently define puzzle parameters will likely result in the question being closed as "too broad".
Jan 12, 2017 at 18:50 comment added Rubio Rule clarification request: is it one word that names the (cardinal number) name of the baktun, or gives an alternate form for the same (cardinal) number? (a) are multiple words ok? (b) are ordinal numbers ok? (c) are words that aren't a number themselves but clearly identify one ok - say, fortnightslength for 14, if that were an actual word? Trying to ensure this doesn't enter "too broad" territory.

Jan 12, 2017 at 18:45 comment added Melkor Sorry, I will edit the question to get rid of baktun 0. That is not technically the maximum, the wheel loops, so you can have potentially infinite life-letters and points.

Jan 12, 2017 at 18:28 comment added Ian MacDonald A word for "one" that has 19 life-letters in it would be the maximum, right? You mention a baktun 0 in your description, but it is not pictured on the wheel.

Jan 12, 2017 at 18:13 comment added Melkor I'm not looking specifically for the highest possible answer, just imaginative answers with the highest points score you can find, for example you can use words like "dozen" "single" etc. Whoever can find the highest scoring answer wins!
Jan 12, 2017 at 18:10 comment added Deusovi "Also alternate forms of the words eg. "zero", "nought" etc." makes this question seem too broad. Is this puzzle basically "find the word for a number in one of these four languages to maximize (value)+(number of aiou)", or am I misunderstanding something?
