    I hadn't the remotest notion what that meant (in spite of watching 'The man who knew infinity' on the way back from the US in the last couple of days), so I looked it up. Sheesh.

    Skewes number. That will do. I only know it because it's the largest number with a practical use in maths.

    I forget the formula but it's something like a prime number that is a power of 2 minus 1. E.g 2 to the power 3 = 8. 8-1=7.

    If that's correct it's not what I was looking for. I'll have to investigate that.

    John Landy seems to have had a 'normal upbringing. Stalin was fatherless for a good deal of his life but I don't think he had a surrogate father.
