  1. 13
  2. 30 ✔
  3. 3

Why: Dreißig is 30 and dreizehn is 13. Most German tens end in -zig, like zwanzig and vierzig, but thirty is spelled with ß: dreißig.

Huh, didn't know that: The letter ß is called Eszett and is pronounced like a sharp s.

The dad joke
How do you make seven an even number? Just remove the s.
