Tryagain, Mark, and others,

Working with all these number definitions, I thought of making a number crossword. To do this I need many numbers with a definition.

My question is do you know numbers with a definition larger than 3 digits?

109 is the smallest number which is palindromic in bases 5 and 9.

Whim:

106 = cards in the game Yummy. Shocked Laughing Laughing

108 = poems by Chögyam Trungpa in the book "First Thought, Best Thought". Laughing
109 = number of John Kennedy's PT Boat Cool (don't know what PT stands for). *
110 = yards in a continental football field. Cool

* The BIG book of PT answers gives the following answer: A small fast unarmored and lightly armed torpedo boat; P(ropeller) T(orpedo) boat. :wink:


Whim also asks, "do you know numbers with a definition larger than 3 digits?"

I will have to think about that, but I doubt it. Although I think, the answers already given will turn up in riddles for many years to come. Razz
