31st Mar 2022: 29% of 999 digits are still available
2nd Jan 2022: 39% of 999 digits are still available
The numbers are broadly classified based on the number of digits. The digits used to form higher digit numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The place value of a 3-digit number helps in understanding the value of each of the digits. The smallest of 3-digit numbers is 100 and the largest number is 999.
000 to 100 might be harder and of less value as most people don't expect zeros in front of a number and are thus less valuable. Some numbers have significance in some cultures or companies. These domains have solid demand in China because they carry two functions: (1) as acronyms to shorten long names, and (2) to enable Chinese companies to go global.
Example:
- 168.
- 007 if you want to be a spy?
- 420 as it has signficance in the CBD or weed work
