47 is the largest number of cubes (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Cube.html) that cannot tile a cube (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Cube.html).

[Tom Bishop]

832 is the maximum number of pieces a torus can be cut into with 16 cuts.

How awesome is that!?:)

[pheadxdll]

Nothing interesting :(

1225 is a hexagonal square triangular number.

469 is the largest known value of n for which n!-1 is prime (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PrimeNumber.html).

[+()c|D]

4 is the smallest number of colors sufficient to color all planar maps.

pretty cool...

[Ben Piecuch]

228 is the sum of 10 (yes, TEN!) consecutive Prime Numbers.

7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 = 228

For those of you who spend a lot of time calculating in base 7, 228 is the repdigit (repeated digit) 444.

And, I always make sure to have my afternoon snack at GUS Time, 2:28pm.

857 is a value of n for which φ(n) = φ(n-1) + φ(n-2).

... and I have no idea what that means. :)

57 is apparently 111 in base 7. So maybe some year will run around impersonating Wildstang. Also, true story, one of our departed mentors wanted us to be sponsored by Heinz. Of Heinz 57 sauce fame. He suggested we could change our name to "The Flying Pickles". Most of the rest of the team was unimpressed.

[Koko Ed]

191 is a number n for which n, n+2, n+6, and n+8 are all prime.

306 is the number of 5-digit triangular numbers (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/TriangularNumber.html).

[Bongo]

When we were painting our numbers on our Robot we only had to cut 2 numbers out instead of 3 or 4. (Beat that!) 2226

[Phalanx]

33^2 = 1089

Add two numbers together and always end with 1089 for a result
Here's how:

1) Pick a three digit number. The three numbers used must be different. i.e. 123
2) Reverse that number. 123 becomes 321
3) Take the smallest three digit number from the largest. 321 - 123 = 198
4) Take the answer and reverse that number. 198 becomes 891
5) Add that number to the answer of the subtraction. 891 + 198 = 1089

[Brandon Holley]

125 is a cube....5^3 = 125

Anyways, as for 237, it pwns all. lol Among being the coolest number in many of our lives on the team there are SOOOO many pop culture references to the number 237.

1529 is divisible by every real number known to man. Given, sometimes you'll come up with some funky decimals, but it works!

Also, I was born on the 19th, and my wife was born on 5/2, so 1529 is sort of like me giving my wife a hug.
