A Puzzle I Saw on a Whiteboard - Win an SPI Share
I ran across this at work recently. Apparently the month of January was International Brain Teaser Month. This one challenged me a bit, so I thought I'd share it here.
First person to comment the answer wins an SPI Share, paid when this post pays out. No googling, and don't answer if you've already heard this one. Of course I have no way to verify/enforce this, so..
I wish you all good solving.

Each number from 0-9 is only used once.
True statement, but that doesn't make this number unique. There are 10 other numbers that share that quality. There's more to it than that.
Aw hell, I knew it was wrong when it came so easily to my brain. :/
What @summertooth said!
AND
They are in alphabetical order! 🎉
And I cheated and asked google.
Ok, then. I guess contest over?
You can't win because you cheated, and no one else can win because you put the answer here. So I guess I'll give it to summer because he was the closest without cheating?
Congratulations @summertooth!
These are sad times we live in @methus but let me just point out the flaw in this question. All numbers are unique!
The number 1 is only worth "1" and no other number has that value. Also, no two numbers are the same when written on the page. 23 is 23 and that's it. 23.000001 is not 23. So 8,549,176,320 is unique solely because it is 8,549,176,320. :) (yes, I spent the time before falling asleep last night obsessing about this.)

This is probably the truest thing I've ever read.
;)
Don't be silly @dfinney (and fcuking google) numbers are not part of the alphabet.
