Wow that is some list

Very interesting, as I was weak in Mathematics and still hate it to this day.

"18 is the only number that is twice the sum of its digits."

Oh paleeese.

"7344 is a value of n for which 4n and 7n together use each digit exactly once."

RIGHT!

Sheesh.. I find that list retawded, as a person who has loved math since he could add numbers.

Yeah..math is good to know, but..there's a point after which one should really think of starting to slow down.

Math has little to do with knowing random facts about the first 9999 natural numbers or whatever. Just like it has little to do with memorizing countless many digits of Pi.

As I tell my wife as she corrects my errors in our checkbook, "I'm a mathematician. I don't do arithmetic."

Some of these would be interesting facts about the numbers, if I was a mathematician. I'm no mathemetician, and I'll never be one most likely.

You can throw just about any number out there, and someone will find some sort of strange meaning in it. This is just like how computers were designed by the devil, because when you add the multiples of 6 times the placement value of all the letters in the word "computer", they add up to 666.
