What is the following number?




My best guess is 53, 789 but I think it could be read 55, 789.

another for 53789, but perhaps the context in which it was written would give a better clue.

That's not tricky, 55789. The two first digits are clearly written in the same way, and the first is a 5 so logically the second is.

I'm torn - the start point of the stroke looks different.

Agree.

I'm terrible for writing like that while taking notes during 'phone calls!

That's a weird 9 on the fifth digit.

The first two numbers are definitely not the same - the start stroke at the top of the number are in completely different directions.
