Alright y'all - please throw in your favorite facts about the number 238. I am writing up the Carnival of Mathematics post and am diving into untouchable numbers - what other fun facts do you love about 238?

@fractalkitty It's the number ways to label a connected graph with 5 nodes that stays connected if you remove a node. No, that wasn't a favorite fun fact before just now; I just did an OEIS/Wikipedia dive.

@two_star I played with that a bit yesterday - and I got bored.

Do you know of any 3d shapes or polyhedra with 238 sides I could procedurally generate?

I may have to do an animation with the 5 nodes if I can't find something else.

Also - love the disclaimer that this wasn't sitting on your list of favorites before.
