Sure Hannah! Since billion is a number, "Billionaire" in the title works.

Staci - do words like once, twice, etc count?

Karen wrote: "Staci - do words like once, twice, etc count?"

Good question. We'll just use number nouns for this challenge. Once, twice, etc. are adverbs. "Once upon a time" wouldn't count but "We met one time" would.

Lauri, sorry to have missed your question. Pair and many wouldn't count for this challenge.

Karen wrote: "Staci - do words like first, second, third, fourth, etc count?"

Hi Karen. Good question. These would not. It would need to be a number such as one, two, three, four, etc. for this particular challenge.

Thanks Staci - that's what I thought but wanted to confirm.
