Re: [math-fun] New Year's oddity

I can't find any numerology in my post.

I'm sure that's not your intent, but just as astronomical observations and the ability to track the position of astronomical bodies was joined with a system of divination to make astrology, the ability to perform arcane searches for mathematical curiosities opens the door for lunatics or charlatans to make non-mathematical use. It's easy to stray from abstract math into that territory - witness the recent discussion about messages from god in the expansion of PI, and for that matter, what's the mathematical significance of "2018"?
