Re: What is Unique About this Number?
Doesn't every number have to be unique, in the sense that if there were two numbers that were the same, they'd be the same number? (I know I know. Nobody loves a smart-arse.)
Maybe you mean 'what's interesting about that number?' To which I have to confess I haven't a clue.
But interesting numbers also have a similar problem..
Suppose you say 1 is interesting because (pick any interesting fact about the number 1.)....
and then 2 is interesting for some other reason, like it's the only even prime, or something....
And keep going till you get to a number about which you can find nothing interesting to say. Well that's the lowest uninteresting number, which qualifies as interesting, so it isn't an uninteresting number after all....
