It's certainly worth doubling back. If you just accept numbers as they appear, for each next number, you can expect to see 500 others first. To get through the entire sequence, you need to check about 500,000 plates.

Oh, hold on. That assumes all number plates follow the old CXXX CCC format, or its predecessors. Since the majority of vehicles now follow the new CCXX CCC format, you may well have to check 1,000,000 plates.

It's got to be one of the most tediously pointless memes around.

(Now, where's a 20?)

Ah, B20 MTX.

Funny how so many of the ones I've collected end in MTX. And that they've all belonged to Meltax.
