I like this fact best: "Every positive integer can be written as the sum of 73 or fewer sixth powers", man that's obscure

nice work but I am lost - I can see a number but I don't know what it refers to ? Id doesn't have to refer to anything but I guess it does refer to something.

Great idea and processing Sami! I favor number 13 myself!

Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club has replied to Indycaver (Norm) ^club

Thank you Norm =) I don't especially favor number 73. I just picked a number that is the best. See the explanation added on the caption. Well, I could have chose also 5318008... =D

A professor of mine used to believe that the best number was 37, because if it worked in a formula, almost anything else would work.
