Have you seen the Mailman...?!


Question: A mailman hand delivered letters every day. On the first day he delivered one letter, on the second day he delivered three letters, on the third day he delivered five letters, and so on.

Each day from the second on he delivered two letters more than the preceding day.

The day he retired, he noticed that he had delivered a total of more than 100,000 letters.

Something fun is that the total number of letters he had delivered has its digits arranged in ascending order.

How many days had he worked, and how many letters had he delivered in total?
