Unique team numbers
 

I'm curious to see everyone post their team number and something that makes it a "cool" number.

Ours is 2357.
-It is the concatenation of the first 4 primes.
-The smallest four-digit prime whose distinct digits are primes.
-Letting A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26, then 2357 is the sum of all the values of the U.S. Presidents' last names from Washington to Coolidge.
-2^2 + 3^3 + 5^5 + 7^7 is prime.
-2357 is also the sum of consecutive primes in at least two ways: (773 + 787 + 797) and (461 + 463 + 467 + 479 + 487).
-The smallest number, curiously prime, whose square begins with 4 identical (prime) digits: 2357^2 = 5555449.
-23:57 is the largest prime on a military (or twenty-four hour) clock.
-2^1013 + 3^1013 + 5^1013 + 7^1013 is prime.
-2^19 + 3^19 + 5^19 + 7^19 is prime.
-The prime digits united by unities is prime (2131517).
-2*3*5*7+2+3+5+7 and 2*3*5*7-2-3-5-7 are both prime.
-The only integer that is both a concatenate prime and a minimal k-primeval prime.
-100^n + 10^n - 1 is prime for consecutive primes 2-3-5-7.
-The product of the primes less than or equal to 2357 is the smallest titanic primorial number.

Oh. I thought this thread was about "kewl" places or funny facts about their number, like "1885 is when Dr. Pepper was started".
Although this math stuff is amusing, if that.

mmkay someone has to say this *prepares for groans*

who is team 1337!

*covers head*

Re: Unique team numbers
 

From the firstwiki page on them, they are from Germany and never competed. http://wiki.chiefdelphi.com/index.php/1337

Thats really too bad. They probably didn't think they could handle the awesomeness of their team number =D

You can do that to, I just didn't list anything because I couldn't find anything too interesting about 2357 BC.....I guess I could predict the future and say 2357 AD is the year that scientists discover the full length of pi, thus creating a concentrated space of high amounts of information, creating an influx in the graviton density, and killing us all.

2357 is also the next year a rare alignment of the planets twice during that year, in in March and May. The nine planets will cluster into a relatively small fan-shaped area on the same side of the sun, in arcs of 96 and 105 degrees. The average cycle for such an event is 179 years. This clustering, or conjunction, is also called syzygy.

I'm more interested in team 1729, the smallest number expressible in two different ways as the sum of two cubes. Especially as a fan of futurama, I am jealous =(.

Not listed on the wiki. I would guess they haven't competed for a year or two.
