Abstract


What is special about the numbers 23, 27, 37, 47, 751, 2519, 11,826, 37,037, 1,741,725, 1,274,953,680, 8,549,176,320, 36,085,288,503,684,007,860? Can the Fibonacci series be used for converting miles to kilometres? Is there any relationship between the terms of the Fibonacci series and Pythagorean triplets? Who coined the terms googol and googolplex? Which is the smallest positive number (>1) which can be expressed as a first power, second power, third power, fourth power, fifth power, sixth power, seventh power, eighth power and ninth power?.
