If I make an article about 224 with the only property that it's the lowest natural number currently lacking an wikipedia article, will it get deleted or will it stay wrong?


I read somewhere (perhaps a Martin Gardner's article) saying that numbers couldn't be classified as "extraordinary" (having interesting properties) and "normal" because then the first normal number could be deemed extraordinary.


The number 1729 is "famous" among mathematicians. Why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzjaDKVC4iY


Immediately what came to mind. Glad I'm not the only numberphile on HN (in fact, I bet we all are).
