I like the sense of suspense. Leave l leaves sometimes critical information to the last second!

The concept really is bullshit, and that's coming from a German. For certain kinds of triple digit numbers people sometimes resort to saying the single digits in a row ("drei fünf neun" instead of dreiundertneunundfünfzig). Less misunderstandings, and faster.

dreiundertneunundfünfzig

And you're trying to tell me that the german language is real?
