5.4 - I'm a Slave 4 U

At the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards Britney Spears performed "I'm a Slave 4 You" with a live snake across her shoulders. Read a book with at least one Arabic numerical digit in the title or subtitle. Numbers cannot be spelled out (Ex. 4 not Four). Arabic numeral digits are the ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

That's fine.

Can the number be part of an ordinal, like the 1 in 19th in the subtitle:
Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad, & Criminal in 19th-Century New York?
