Every math aficionado needs to check out this site:

So here's a challenge: what's special about 226?

AngelicVampire 01-29-2005 03:00 PM

2x2 = 2 less than 6?

CSflim 01-29-2005 04:36 PM

Wow. That site is great!

226 is the smallest <A href="http://mcraefamily.com/MathHelp/JokeProofUninterestingNumber.htm">uninteresting number</A>.

250 is also listed on that page without a special fact. Allow me to help out.

250 is a sum of two cubes which is also the sum of two squares in more than one way;

250 = 5<SUP><SIZE=1>3</SIZE></SUP> + 5<SUP><SIZE=1>3</SIZE></SUP> =13<SUP><SIZE=1>2</SIZE></SUP> + 9<SUP><SIZE=1>2</SIZE></SUP> = 15<SUP><SIZE=1>2</SIZE></SUP> + 5<SUP><SIZE=1>2</SIZE></SUP>

292 is the number of ways to make change for a dollar.
:hmm: We have too much currency, obviously.

did that give any one else bad flash backs from (insert your worse nitemare of a math class)in highschool and give you a momentary blinding headache? :lol:

filtherton 01-29-2005 06:36 PM

It's giving me a bad flashback from the discrete math class that i'm taking right now. Fuck. Perfect numbers my ass.

that is freaking awesome man!!!! damn!! i am a total number freak. i know all digits of Pi up to the first zero, which is the 33rd digit. :-) thanks for the link to this site!

1 is the loneliest number.

Grancey 01-30-2005 01:02 AM

2 can be as bad as 1
and 3 is a magic number

Rangsk 01-31-2005 04:02 AM

There is no uninteresting number:
Proof -- let n be the first uninteresting number
Well, that certaintly makes n interesting!
Thus there can be no uninteresting number.

[EDIT] Ok someone already posted this. Whoops.

46 is the number of different arrangements (up to rotation and reflection) of 9 non-attacking queens on a 9x9 chessboard.
mmmmm, that's interesting. of course a non-attacking Queen is a useless Queen. But then I play an agressive game.

That is a excellent site BTW.

God, my HS math teacher was a total bitch, she'd call me in front of the class to do the math problems on the board just because she knew I had no clue. That hoe!

Gortexfogg 01-31-2005 08:38 PM

That' s a crazy site, but still interesting as hell... I love the parts as the numbers get larger, like "473 is the largest known number whose square and 4th power use different digits." Who thinks about this stuff? Crazy!
