- j01101010, on 10/12/2007, -2/+633340 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 0.
that is the worst fact ever. - Zinite, on 10/12/2007, -5/+61You think that's bad? Remember the time I won a date to Mexico with Gary Coleman?
- gharding, on 10/12/2007, -3/+551 is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
2 can be as bad as one; it's the loneliest number since the number one - PatrickFisher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+49You think that one's bad:
"102 is the smallest number with three different digits." - Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -4/+52They left out 1337. Lame.
- wild, on 10/12/2007, -0/+40How is your thesis coming?
- Aeaus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37While the page begins with a lot of interesting facts, in degenerates into obscure facts pretty quickly.
ie. 57 = 111 in base 7 - dorianh49, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35"69 has the property that n2 and n3 together contain each digit once."
There's got to be a pun in there SOMEWHERE! - kcpwnsgman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30oh you have a whole new world to learn now.
- MadScientist420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30This is what grad students do instead of actual work. That and surf Digg.
- gharding, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24If I have to suffer, you all do too!
- drafhk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21I was disappointed about the number 42. Did they not know it's the answer to life, the universe, and everything? Geez.
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Wow, you guys completely missed the joke... nerds.
- cmiller1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18420 is the smallest number divisible by 1 through 7.
- actn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18@j01101010
How about the next 9:
3341 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 1.
3342 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 2.
3343 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 3.
3344 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 4.
3345 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 5.
3346 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 6.
3347 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 7.
3348 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 8.
3349 = 3333 + 3 + 4 + 9. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18"42 is the 5th Catalan number."
I think it's a bit more than that! :D - rageguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Wikipedia has a much better list with far more interesting facts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numbers - Arcesius, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20"5040 = 7!"
wtf... 5040 doesn't equal 7, dumbasses... where the ***** did this come from? and why the hell are they so excited about it?...
(sorry... I couldn't help myself =))
although for this one... "5054 = 555 + 0 + 55 + 4444.", I truly don't get why they had to add zero in there...
and 5160-5167... yeah... no comment there... just that i could have figured that out myself... and 5161 might be the best one there, what with the adding of 1! - aule, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I'm glad I'm not the only one...
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14"(Those math people know what Z is)"
Oo oo... it's an axis right, like Iran and North Korea and Canada?
Oh and -987 - kathaclysm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13"226: ???"
226 is the first uninteresting number... which makes it very interesting... so therefore it's not uninteresting.... and then my head hurts. - jodokast, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17I'm digging you down just for getting that song stuck in my head.
- vileS, on 10/12/2007, -2/+141366 = 1 + 33 + 666 + 666
Really? No way! Thank God I found this list. - bonyicecream, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet
elite=31337-->1337 - smokmnky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12You clearly forgot to add that 3 is also the magic number
- gharding, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11.012
- ByronT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Haha, I was thinking the same thing. M-theory for the win.
- attention, on 10/12/2007, -0/+101005 is the smallest number whose English name contains all five vowels exactly once.
who discovers something like that? - elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Can anybody explain what the hell this means, "21 is the smallest number of distinct squares needed to tile a square."
I'm fairly sure that a square can be tiled using ONE square. - Hockey37, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9No 867, no 5309, apperantly he doesn't have Jenny's number.
- Burninsensation, on 10/12/2007, -0/+91337 is also the melting point of gold. That's why gold's so 1337
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Surprisingly, there are no interesting negative numbers. Simple fact.
- Gryffydd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Yeah, but now we have to figure out the question...
- griz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+71 should read "the number of lives this person needs to get."
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8666 = shorthand for my favorite shade of grey
- markdr123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The title of that article cracks me up.
- itsscience, on 10/12/2007, -6/+123 is the number of spatial dimensions we live in.
wrong! - ldkronos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6""5054 = 555 + 0 + 55 + 4444.", I truly don't get why they had to add zero in there..."
Well, I'm not saying it isn't lame, but heres the explanation. Each of the four numbers being summed consists of only the corresponding digit in the sum. The first term is only 5's, the second is only 0's, the third is only 5's, and the fourth is only 4's. Again,I'm just explaining....don't flame the messenger. - MilesLombardi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6All numbers are interesting, a fun proof by induction exists. I won't stick with the form, but go through numbers until you find one that you think isn't interesting, that fact itself makes it interesting, it is the "first uninteresting number", of course then it becomes interesting, and the search goes on, you find another which is then again the "first uninteresting number" etc, etc.
;) - elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think you mean in ASCII binary form. (As opposed to unicode binary form, or just simply binary form (Which would make that simply a big number))
- sembetu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+510,000 = the first number not appearing on the list.
- aoctavio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@elnerdo and @savus
The key is the word "distinct", that is each square is diferent size (4,9, 16) and you want to tile another (biger square) but no two tiles are the same size.... It turns out you need at least 21 squares to be able to do that... get it? - yikiad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5that made my brain explode...can i just watch lost now?
- SeriousKidding, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I just makes be pine for the days when a "Google" was a googol.
- echoforever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4217 is a Kaprekar constant in base 2????
- negativefx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+71+1=3 *****! i always ***** it up
- dorianh49, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8@coollettuce: not a "Jesus freak", but I am religious (automatic Digg-down frenzy!), and I don't think the Earth is only 3,000 years old. I believe that humans have only been on the Earth for maybe 5,000 - 6,000 years, but who knows exactly how old the Earth is? Genesis says that God created the Earth in 6 days, but the word "day" in Hebrew can mean an undetermined period of time. It could mean a day, or several days, or a month, or a year, or even centuries. It's quite possible (and non-contradictory to the Bible) that the Earth is several million years old.
- Lewie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Most people (in the US, at least), will recognize the song as "One" by Three Dog Night
(yes folks, I'm older than 12) - aoctavio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@drafhk
DO you really think that being a Catalan number has NOTHING to do with 42 being the answer to life, the universe, and everything? - zaphodfl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+542 is the answer to life, the universe and everything.
Doh
