Here is a little treasure hunt featuring @rodarmor's Ordinal Theory. I've become fascinated with finding interesting ordinal numbers and combos and want to share my findings! Good luck! This might help...
Countries:
azerbaijan bangladesh elsalvador kazakhstan kyrgyzstan luxembourg madagascar mauritania micronesia montenegro mozambique newzealand northkorea saintlucia seychelles southkorea southsudan tajikistan uzbekistan
Whose capitals of length 10:
nouakchott wellington luxembourg
c = f = luxembourg
newzealand - wellington + mauritania - nouakchott = 57120758902197 = nlfpndyucym
But found nothing on that PublicNote. So must have missed something. Fun to learn about this though :)

Perhaps not, maybe I screwed something up, let me double check the solution again. Good stuff!

Damn my mistake, you've got it! I'll give the sats on SN! As I was double and triple checking this I was sometimes coming up with an ordinal that was off by 4, always 4. Couldn't figure it out, it clicked this morning when I was checking the Google Sheets, my formatting was changing the last digit to a 0 instead of 4.... Good work though, hope it was fun!

Wow! Thank you! Yes, it was fun, and I learned a lot (names of capitals and this entire "ordinal" concept. I know some sats I'll be waiting for now)

while folks are looking at the sats in their wallet, I want to plug a bounty that I have open :)

Just so it's clear for ppl, my puzzle doesn't require any sat hunting of your own sats, just digging around using the ordinal explorer.
I will definitely be checking my wallets for your bounty though!

Hey, just clicked through your profile and saw the discussion about sats CTFs :) That was also something I was thinking about... For reference, here is the comment I replied to: #53434
Will try to do this challenge!
