912 is objectively biggest, but 888 has the largest digit sum, and is densest at a glance. Fortune 500 is not a number. The rest seem appropriately large for their actual magnitude. I was split on whether to vote 912 or 888.

Here are my thoughts:

  • 911 - the date of a national tragedy and an emergency number, doesn't feel like a real number

  • 666 - demon stuff

  • 777 - lucky

  • 912 - doesn't have associated meanings, so it feels the most "number". 9XX feels pretty large

  • 888 - betting?

  • Fortune 500 - a list of companies

If I were to rank them from biggest to smallest it would be:

  • 912

  • 888 ~= 777

  • Fortune 500

911 and 666 just don't "feel like" number numbers to me.
