Steve,
Would ''The "Get a Life" factor'' apply to the budding numerologists who seem to have nothing better to do than sit around making 20 or 30 posts trying to get magic numbers. If so, there are a few on this thread who could be nominated :-) You know who you are!
Besides, by concentrating on patterns and zeroes they are missing the really interesting numbers like:
1444 - Sure its a triple, but its also the smallest perfect square that ends in three "4"s.
3141 - The first four digits of pi
1987 - The smallest four digit prime number with digits in a cylic descending, consecutive order.
969 - Methuselas age according to Genisis. Also the 17th tetrahedral number (i.e., with 969 cannon balls you could build a pyramid with 17 balls on each edge).
666 - The sum of all the numbers on a roulette wheel.
25, 76, 625, 376, 9376 - Are all automorphic numbers. An automorphic number is a number that reappears at the tail and of its square (i.e, 25*25 = 625, 76*76 = 576 ...).
2467 - the 365th prime number ....
54748 - This number = the sum of the 5th powers of its digits (i.e., 5^5 + 4^5 + 7^5 + 4^5 + 8^5).
I looks like maybe I should get a life too.
