I've just learnt about Duffinian numbers. They're composite numbers which are coprime to the sum of their divisors.

In addition: Numbers Aplenty is a terrific site: numbersaplenty.com/set/Duffini

Milestone is to minestrone as baseline is to vaseline.

(oh, and the link in the description doesn't go to the paper, it just goes to the journal's homepage. So much value!)

I love the Journal of Number Theory's video abstracts.
This one by Sungkon Chang is great, building on Zeckendorf's theorem: youtube.com/watch?v=vSwSJ_sppn
(Yes, Elsevier is garbage. They haven't added much value here: the video is Chang's own work, and they haven't even gone to the effort of writing proper closed captions)

I'm going to try to toot a daily .
Here's an itsphun tetrahedron.

Morty! You turned yourself into a WebAssembly demo! And, and, burp, and and, *pwfff*, and you're very elastic it appears adultswim.com/etcetera/elastic

91. MORE MIXED FRACTIONS. When I first published my solution to the last puzzle, I was led to attempt the expression of all numbers in turn up to 100 by a mixed fraction containing all the nine digits. Here are twelve numbers for the reader to try his hand at: 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 27, 36, 40, 69, 72,
94. Use every one of the nine digits once, and only once, in every case.

YES, I AM LAME.

Pancake Flipping is Hard

Some more numbers that look like this:
4331 = 61*71
1271 = 31*41
7171 = 71*101
6161 = 61*101

Today I noticed that 2501 = 41*61, which is quite nice because it's a product of two large primes.
The optimal for this is, I guess, the product of a pair of twin primes (I rule out square numbers cos they're boring). Those numbers are oeis.org/A037074

But I feel like there's something extra-nice about 2501=41*61. Is it the matching final digit?
