Not if they're counting, which is what the riddle asked. ("How far do you have to count . . . .") Most people say "nine hundred ninety-eight, nine hundred ninety-nine, one thousand, one thousand one . . . ."
If you really want analytical, no one has even mentioned that "a" is an article, not actually part of the number.
