    I don't know but my one is @016, which comes up as a former military unit of Norway. Hmmmm.

    Oh, now it changed to @018. This is riveting.

    I thought DeVore had gone over the edge and given himself a new title.

    It's like the clock in lost. Devore must hit refresh before it gets to @108 or the internet collapses.

    Shit!! @071, a prime number made of two other prime numbers. Aaaahhhhhh!! Prime numbers

    71 is the algebraic degree of Conway's constant, a remarkable number arising in the study of look-and-say sequences.
    It is the 20th prime number. The next is 73, with which it composes a twin prime. It is also a permutable prime with 17. If we add up the primes less than 71 (2 through 67), we get 568, which is divisible by 71, 8 times. 71 is the largest (15th) supersingular prime, which is also a Chen prime. Also, 712 = 7! + 1, making it part of the last known pair of Brown numbers, as (71, 7). It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n – 1. Since 9! + 1 is divisible by 71 but 71 is not one more than a multiple of 9, 71 is a Pillai prime.
    As 71 is the least prime factor of one more than the product of the first twenty-two terms of the Euclid–Mullin sequence, it is the twenty-third term. Also, 71 is the largest number which occurs as a prime factor of an order of a sporadic simple group.

    That was all off the top of my head by the way.
