  What's the catch?
  I doubt my regex will miss a number in that text...
  I tried including the "one"s and "two" already. ("hundred" as well)

  Well, everything looks suspicious, the title, the link in address bar, the source, today's date, my g/f's age, how many teeth my dog has...etc. I just don't have time to try all the possibilities. Thanks.

  Here's how you should have done it:
  Huge text with normal story, a few 0-9 numbers and some plain word numbers (one, two...etc)

  Then just let people regex it. (huge text would take years to solve by hand)

  Instead you have a small text with a lot of smoke that only test members' perseverance, luck and can only be solved by trial and error... Why try to trick people when you can simply test real skill?

  Whatever... it's an old challenge and that's what was done in old times.

    Why don't you make your own challenge for submission to Sphinx ?

    This one has not much to do with what you describe. You don't need regex to start with.

    Try and look a bit further than the numb3rs you got and keep your rantings for yourself...
