THE CONCORDANCE · ONE NUMBER
Seat № 01000, read as a number
№ 01000 is a cube, among twenty-nine in the house. It factors as 2³ × 5³, and its digits add to one.
Held back from the queue. These 12 numbers — 1, 7, 42, 100, 777, 1,000, 1,337, 7,777, 12,345, 20,000, 24,000, 24,600 — are never dealt in order. They are set aside for an auction the club has not scheduled; if it opens, the logbook announces it first.
Every line above is arithmetic on the number 1,000 and nothing else. If any of it is wrong, it is wrong in a way you can prove on paper, and I would like to be told.
