Title: My 700th post!
Post by: Drew on October 04, 2006, 06:59:40 PM
The events topic is under used so I'm contributing to its success.  This is in honour of my 700th post.  Just consider how much time I have spent racking up 700 posts.  Now imagine if I had done something productive with that time instead.  Man, I could maybe have been somebody.  Instead I'm just a loyal Gong Shower with 700 posts.  There could be worse fates in life I suppose.

Here is something you maybe don't know about the number 700:  

It is the sum of four consecutive primes (167 + 173 + 179 + 181).

As well, it is a Harshad number.

Wondering what a Harshad number is?  A Harshad number is an integer that is divisible by the sum of its digits in a given number base.

What does that mean?  Beats me.  But I think we all learned something anyway.

Should we race for it then?  I like a hopeless challenge to energize me.
