Re: [math-fun] Kevin Brown?

A certain mathematician, whom I know well, lived at street number 841 for 40 years without realizing that it's 29^2. I hope this isn't OCD, but I've got into the habit of trying to factor every street address and [last 4 digits of] every phone number (is there a word for this?) that I come in close contact with. --Dan Thane wrote: << I have a mathematician friend who lived in a house with street address 2401 for over ten years before he realized it was (and in fact still is) 7^4, causing him significant mental distress
