10 Math/Number Facts (Vol. #2)
1. Another mnemonic for remembering the first 20 decimals of pi is
How I wish I could enumerate pi easily, since all these bullshit mnemonics prevent recalling any of pi's sequence more simply. (posted by abyssbrain in comment of previous post)
2. 6666 days is equal to 144 hours + 1440 hours + 14400 hours + 144000 hours.
3. One cycle of the Mayan calendar is equivalent to 5126 years. The digits 5126 begin at the 2012th decimal place of π!
4. Metric Day is celebrated each year on October 10th.
5. 68 is the smallest composite number that can be read as a prime number when it is turned upside down.

7. Welsh government has declared March 14 as Pi Day Cymru as a way of honouring the Anglesey-born mathematician William Jones, who came up with the idea of pi in 1706.
8. Mats Bergsten of Sweden holds the world record for memorising pi while juggling, reciting 9,778 digits in 1hr 20min.
9. A poem written such that the length of each word is determined by the digits in pi is called a piem. A haiku written under those constraints is called a piku.

Math Chivalry
Interesting factorizations| Num3ers 7928 and 7929
Recently
Benjamin Vitale posted interesting relationship between numbers 7928 and 7928 on his blog in his article article here
The two consecutive numbers can be expressed as follows
7928 = 8 * 991
7929 = 9 * 881
So, I wrote little python script to find more pairs like this and posting it as below.
And It is interesting to find that all 3-digit multipliers are ending with 1.201 * 3 = 603 and 301 * 2 = 602
221 * 1 = 221 and 111 * 2 = 222
221 * 3 = 663 and 331 * 2 = 662
301 * 2 = 602 and 201 * 3 = 603
301 * 4 = 1204 and 401 * 3 = 1203
331 * 2 = 662 and 221 * 3 = 663
331 * 4 = 1324 and 441 * 3 = 1323
401 * 3 = 1203 and 301 * 4 = 1204
401 * 5 = 2005 and 501 * 4 = 2004
