Trivial Pursuit

What number between one and 100 has the highest value-to-syllable ratio?

(e.g., thirteen => 13/2 syllables = 6.5)

If anyone bothers to respond with the correct response, the first to do so will be linked, or, at least, publicly noted.

Update: Zombyboy emailed with the correct answer (90 => 90/2 syllables = 45) first; Jay Solo commented with it shortly thereafter. (I'm a bloggers' blogger, indeed.)

Thanks, guys! I may have to do this again...

Twenty-Seven with a value of 6.75?

Whoops. No. Seventy-Seven with a value of 15.4.

One-hundred?
100/3 = 33 1/3

Or was that not inclusive, making 99 the highest?

Ninety-nine
99/3 = 33

Or did I read you wrong or pick the obvious yet incorrect answer? The highest 2 syllable I could think of was... oops! Not sixty, eighty! No, ninety!

90/2 = 45

Duh! Ignore those other answers I typed.
