Here is a brief overview of the 6 traits, presented in a more secular language.

I hope I haven’t made any errors in the calculations. Please double-check, as I am human apart from my artificial hip and sometimes make mistakes. Thank you for your assistance.

I consider these 6 traits valuable, also because they are not the result of subjective selection (which is not an argument per se ofc). They don’t need to be confirmed by a 3rd party, but are confirmed by math itself — you need no committee, no image interpreters, one relies on something verified according to good decentralized tradition.

1. Square numbers. Between 1 and 800000 there are a total of 894 square numbers.

2. Cubes: The largest number that can be cubed to the power of 3 without exceeding 800000 is 92.

3. Fibonacci Numbers (as a trader you will know that concept very well): A series of numbers starting with 0 and 1. Each additional number corresponds to the sum of the two previous numbers. So the Fibs are: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89… According to miniwebtool dot com, the list of Fibonacci numbers that previously existed as block numbers includes 29. F30 will be block 832040.
Curiously, 1 dot bitmap represents TWO Fibonaccis.

4. Mersenne primes are prime numbers that have a special form of 2^p — 1, where p is also a prime number. These numbers are named after the French mathematician Marin Mersenne. They have been the subject of significant mathematical study due to their intriguing properties. Mersenne Primes have their own homepage where the current research teams publish their results: mersenne dot org .
There are 7 MPs under 800000: 3, 7, 31, 127, 8191, 131071, 524287.

5. Perfect numbers are a fascinating concept in mathematics. They are positive integers that are equal to the sum of their proper divisors, excluding the number itself. For example, the number 6 has proper divisors 1, 2, and 3, and their sum is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, making it a perfect number. Other examples include 28, 496, and 8128.

6. Flashback numbers, also known as factorials, are a fundamental concept in mathematics (and somehow my favorite). They are represented by the symbol “!” and are calculated by multiplying all positive integers from 1 to a given number. For example, the factorial of 5, written as 5!, is calculated as 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1, resulting in the value of 120. Flashback numbers are often used in combinatorics and probability theory to determine the number of ways objects can be arranged or combinations can be formed. They exhibit rapid growth and have a limited number within any given range of numbers.

0! = 1
1! = 1
2! = 2
3! = 6
4! = 24
5! = 120
6! = 720
7! = 5040
8! = 40320
9! = 362880
10! = 3628800

You see: We won’t see more than 9 Flashback numbers in the near future.
