469 is the largest known value of n for which n!-1 is prime.

[+()c|D]

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

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.

[Kevin Sevcik]

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.

59 is the number of stellations of an icosahedron.

Oh yea icosahedrons, sure.

[Alan Anderson]

45 x 45 = 2025, 20 + 25 = 45
45 x 45 x 45 = 91125, 9 + 11 + 25 = 45
45 x 45 x 45 x 45 = 4100625, 4 + 10 + 6 + 25 = 45

Alan, why do I get the feeling that you calculated all those permutations of 45 yourself?
