@packbat i am fond of 23, and 53, since they are one less than such nicely composite numbers (24 = 2^3 * 3 and 54 = 2 * 3^3)

more egocentrically, 4013 is nice bc it's one less than 0xfae (fae interpreted as hexadicimal)

@fae ooh, that's a nice property for 23 and 53!

and having a prime right next door to your name is fun as heck 🏘️
