Week 19 Highlights

26 April 2011

Welcome to week 19.
19 is the number of angels guarding Hell according to the Qur'an, and the minimum age to marry in the state of Nebraska.
19 is the 8th smallest prime number, and the seventh Mersenne prime exponent.
19 is the aliquot sum of two odd discrete semiprimes, 65 and 77 and is the base of the 19-aliquot tree. If you want to know what that is, ask someone who hasn't just copied-and-pasted this out of Wikipedia.
19 was not a good age to be in Vietnam, which is, coincidentally, one of the places Gordon Ramsay is visiting in his latest Great Escape.
19 is also a week packed with exciting goodies on Channel 4. Check it out.
