Why is there a Wikipedia page for 313 but not for 314? - BitBuster - 24-Mar-2012
Exhibit A:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/313_%28number%29
Exhibit B:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/314_%28number%29
This troubles me, on multiple levels.

Because it is related to many prime factors of numbers?
BitBuster, please slow down on the number of new topics. Thanks.

Should we get into the "no such thing as a 'least interesting number'" debate?

As long as you make no more new topics. It's exhausting.
The thing is, not every number is important or Wiki worthy. 313 is an area cube, just like 666 is the number of the devil. I have no idea why, but a number is just a number in the end.

Fair enough.

Like 207?

I'll drink to that.

The fact that Wikipedia has a "list of numbers" page has always made me chuckle.

There are a lot of little things about Wikipedia that make me chuckle. With luck, this thread will digress into discussing some of them.

I would totally do this for every number up to a googol, were I to be paid for the task (and were my lifespan to be extended accordingly).

Amazing how so many of them are "list of lists"s.

That's why the page is named as such.
