 ) sufficiently advanced technology. I should name it something - let's go with _uke_silver's saxophone. I'm hoping it's been tuned correctly lol, otherwise this is going to be a grand failure. | |||
| |||
| |||
"17" 17 is the least random number, according to the Hackers' Jargon File. | |||
"55" 55 is the interesting property that it is the 10th Fibonacci number and the sum of the numbers 1 to 10. | |||
 | |||
| |||
| |||
"7" 7 is the sum of any two opposite sides on a standard six-sided die. | |||
 | |||
"41 hours please" 41 is the sum of two squares, 42 + 52. | |||
| |||
"Why has no one said 69 Oops Just did" 69 is a value of n where n^{2} and n^{3} together contain each digit once. | |||
| |||
| |||
"41 hours please 41 is the sum of two squares, 42 + 52." How? | |||
"77" 77 is the number of digits of the 12th perfect number. | |||
"[Removed by poster at 19/10/23 22:16:00]" 19 is the maximum number of 4^{th} powers needed to sum to any number. | |||
"41 hours please 41 is the sum of two squares, 42 + 52. How? "I'm assuming it was supposed to be 4 squared + 5 squared but fab doesn't handle it correctly | |||
| |||
| |||
"[Removed by poster at 19/10/23 22:16:00] 19 is the maximum number of 4^{th} powers needed to sum to any number." Yeah, it takes the first number in your message, even if it's deleted.  | |||
"91" 91 is the smallest pseudoprime in base 3. | |||
"6174 Enjoy" 6174 is the Kaprekar constant for 4-digit numbers. | |||
"41 hours please 41 is the sum of two squares, 42 + 52. How?
I'm assuming it was supposed to be 4 squared + 5 squared but fab doesn't handle it correctly"Bloody fab | |||
"91 91 is the smallest pseudoprime in base 3." Like a fermat? | |||
"41 hours please 41 is the sum of two squares, 42 + 52. How?

Bloody fab "The saxophone is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. | |||
| |||
"91 91 is the smallest pseudoprime in base 3. Like a fermat? " Yes | |||
"351" 351 is the smallest number so that it and the surrounding numbers are all products of 4 or more primes. | |||
"91 91 is the smallest pseudoprime in base 3. Like a fermat? I don't know about anyone else but I love a fermat pseudoprime Yes"  | |||
| |||

"Lucky for some, 13" 13 is the number of Archimedian solids. | |||

Stop it "That's what the Jedi will tell you when you begin narrating the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise! | |||
"6174 Enjoy 6174 is the Kaprekar constant for 4-digit numbers." Did you know this or were you hoping to trip the saxophone up? | |||
"Anyone else worries this thread might baffle Sydney a little bit "I was accused of working for Sydney! This will show her I don't | |||
| |||
"671 That's definitely my favourite number." 671 is a rhombic dodecahedral number. | |||
| |||
"This might be the hottest post I have read in the forums. 42 please." 42 is conjectured to be the scaling factor in the leading order term of the "sixth moment of the Riemann zeta function". | |||
"This might be the hottest post I have read in the forums. 42 please. 42 is conjectured to be the scaling factor in the leading order term of the "sixth moment of the Riemann zeta function"." Oh god. I am so close. Ohhhh yeah baby riemann, zeta FUNCTION!!!! Ahhhhhh.  | |||

"Quite honestly happy it’s probably down to 40 hours right now." 40 is the only number whose letters are in alphabetical order. | |||

New number, new fact "Obviously! | |||

"23" 23 is the smallest number of integer-sided boxes that tile a box so that no two boxes share a common length. | |||
 thanks tho x | |||
"Not sure my head can get around all those boxes and tiles... thanks tho x"Here, a special manual one for you: 23 is the ninth prime number, the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime. | |||
| |||
"0" 0 is the additive identity. | |||
"Not sure my head can get around all those boxes and tiles... thanks tho x
Here, a special manual one for you: 23 is the ninth prime number, the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime."Aww thank you I can understand that one without doing brain gymnastics! | |||
"Not sure my head can get around all those boxes and tiles... thanks tho x"Okay, after going too deep down the squared square rabbit-hole, I realised that the actual lowest order simple perfect squared square is of order 21, not 23. Looks like the saxophone was wrong in this case! https://youtu.be/NoRjwZomUK0 | |||

"I suffer from dyscalculia I find maths impossible. " Just pick a number 
What I'm thinking is duke's scripting foo could do wonders for fabadmin! Can it work in messages? | |||
"I suffer from dyscalculia I find maths impossible. " I'm so sorry. Does it affect arithmetic only, or do you also not like doing geometry or algebra? | |||
"I suffer from dyscalculia I find maths impossible. Just pick a number
What I'm thinking is duke's scripting foo could do wonders for fabadmin! Can it work in messages?"Of course it can! It has great power (and I wield it with great responsibility ). | |||
"I suffer from dyscalculia I find maths impossible. I'm so sorry. Does it affect arithmetic only, or do you also not like doing geometry or algebra?" The only way I can describe it is like someone closing a pair of thick curtains in my mind when I try to do any math but as they are doing so the calculations are being rapidly jumbled up into a nonsensical mess. Sorry for the thread hijacking. I'll shut, up carry on. | |||

Also, I don't mind at all - thread hijacking as a meta concept is not something I'm bothered about - it's not 'my' thread lol, it's a public thread on the lounge forum. | |||
"60" 60 is the sum of a pair of twin primes (29 + 31), as well as the sum of four consecutive primes (11 + 13 + 17 + 19). | |||
"60 60 is the sum of a pair of twin primes (29 + 31), as well as the sum of four consecutive primes (11 + 13 + 17 + 19)." It's also the base for all time and geometry measurement. Base 60 came from the 4th BC in mesopotamia | |||
"It's also the base for all time and geometry measurement. Base 60 came from the 4th BC in mesopotamia" 60 is the smallest number divisible by 1 through 6. | |||
"Not sure my head can get around all those boxes and tiles... thanks tho x
Here, a special manual one for you: 23 is the ninth prime number, the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime."Are you sure it's not the 10th ? | |||
"Are you sure it's not the 10th ?" 10 is a semi-meandric number. | |||
"Are you sure it's not the 10th ? 10 is a semi-meandric number." Also I guess 1 isn't a prime number so ignore me | |||
"Also I guess 1 isn't a prime number so ignore me" 1 is the first figurate number of every kind, such as triangular number, pentagonal number and centered hexagonal number, to name just a few. | |||
"Why has no one said 69 Oops Just did 69 is a value of n where n^{2} and n^{3} together contain each digit once." And also a lot of fun in certain situations | |||
"Not sure my head can get around all those boxes and tiles... thanks tho x
Here, a special manual one for you: 23 is the ninth prime number, the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime."23 is actually MY favourite number. 17, which we shared last night is Mr KC's and "ours". But I really do like 23. | |||
". But I really do like 23." 23 is the first prime P for which unique factorization of cyclotomic integers based on the Pth root of unity breaks down. | |||

"In that case… 911 Not my favourite number but 23 was already taken a few times over. So yeah, 911" 911 is the American emergency number. | |||

Not my favourite number but 23 was already taken a few times over.
So yeah, 911"For your favourite number, I have to give you one: 23 is a Wedderburn–Etherington number. | |||

Do you know anything else about 911 ? Excluding a very specific date in history, also American." I'm sorry, I think my saxophone agrees with the fact that history began on July 4, 1776. Everything before that was a mistake. Math can't override freedom.
