Framing a question whose answer is an ordinal number
17 answers
How should I phrase a question that must be answered with an ordinal number (e.g., the third prime)?
19 answers
Consider this scenario...Sam ate 4 cookies. Now if someone asks Sam How many you had, then Sam will reply 4. But how should the question be formed so that the answer Sam gives will be 4th instead of 4?

Ordinal number means the order of a number in a sequence (e.g. first, second, third etc).
So the question could be phrased as-: What is the ordinal number of the last cookie Sam ate?
