As far as I know, 'rhinoceros' is only pluralized as 'rhinoceroses', not 'rhinoceri'...

Besides, in Ionesco's Rhinoceros, which, in my opinion, is his best play, he uses 'rhinoceroses', which automatically makes it superior...

There's a certain 10-digit number where that the first digit is equal to the number of zeros in the entire number, the second number is the number of 1's in the entire number, the third number is the number of 2's in the entire number, and so on, to where the 10th digit is the number of 9's in the entire number.

What is the number?

__________

There are 6 zeros, 2 ones, 1 two, 0 threes, 0 fours, 0 fives, 1 six, 0 sevens, 0 eights, and 0 nines.

Third time's the charm.
Working backwards from my last wrong answer

6,210,001,000

If an explanation is needed:
There must be a one representing the first number. Unless that number is a one there is one 1 in the number. But writing that 1 makes a second 1 so then there are two 1s and a 2 to signify the number of 1s in the number. The remaining digits are all zeros so a 1 can be places in the signifying space for the total number of zeros and the number of zeros is all the first number.

I never want to think that hard on a Wednesday again!

No googling under penalty of getting drunk.
