Re: [math-fun] Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Geometry

(David Wells also wrote the "Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers", which I've heard is also good.)

In my edition, the least uninteresting whole number is 43. Here's a coincidence: 43 is also the least whole number absent from the Holy Bible. (Chapter and Verse numbers don't count.) And, it's the first atomic number missing from nature (Technetium). In one other circle, 43 is very interesting; whenever Sloane's A000043 is extended, it's news. -- Don Reble djr@nk.ca
