32768 would be a strong contender but it’s 2 15 and i thought it was 2
16 and since the power isn’t part of the 2^x chain then nah
65536 is 2^16 but it’s almost a palindrome not exactly a palindrome so i find that very annoying
maybe you’re right about 360 it also is the sum of angles in a circle -
73. It is the 21st prime number, and its mirror, 37 is the 12th prime number, and its mirror, 21 (the mirror of 12) is the product of multiplying 7 and 3. And, in binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001, which backwards, is 1001001. There is no other number like 73, making it unique. -
look for a number that is prime, has a mirror that is prime, and mirrored in the prime number, such as 37 being the 12th, and 73 being the 21st. And it needs to be a palindrome as well. And its prime number, in this case, must be able to multiply to the prime number it is. 73 is the 21st, and 7 and 3 multiply to 21. -
i’m not going to look through an infinity of numbers to disprove you
because a much simpler way is to ask you to PROVE your statement in the first place
it’s not mathematically true that 73 is the only number with these properties until you’ve proven it
so unless you have proof no other number like this exists (and since there are infinite numbers, including prime numbers, good luck with that) it’s not mathematically certain -
Pomerance said that he first discovered the Math Horizons article back in 2015 and sent a brief email to Spicer. However, he did not follow-up with Spicer until last summer, when he contacted Spicer about working together to create a proof. Spicer said that after about 130 emails exchanged between the two mathematicians, they had figured out the proof.
Before Pomerance and Spicer wrote the proof, it was possible to use a computer to search and not find other examples of numbers with similar unique qualities to the number 73. However, Spicer said that their proof rules out numbers even beyond the range of computers, and shows that the number 73 is finitely unique.

actually a clue about what the most satisfying number would be to look at my username :) -
The thing that makes it so special is that you get the same number when you flip upside down :) -
and 12 and 15 and 18 and 20 and 24 and 30 and 36 and 40 and 45 and 60 and 72 and 90 and 120... 360 is literally so gigachad
