Two hundred posts in one year - and I've still got three months left. Wow.
According to the Source Of All Knowledge (aka Wikipedia), "200" is the smallest base 10 unprimeable number - "it can not be turned into a prime number by changing just one of its digits to any other digit." It's also a Harshad number & part of the Padovan sequence. (Yes, it sounds like gobbledy-gook to me, too... who comes up with this stuff? And why?! It's like "open vs closed holdings" for guys with slide rules & graphing calculators.)
Since I've got more than 50 posts left in the Kid Games 100 series (and I want to finish that in time for Christmas), I figure I'll close in on 300 by the end of the year.
