666[edit]

You're right that 666 being the sum of the squares of the first seven primes is at least as interesting as the other notes. For a long time I've thought that the article on that number needs some heavy pruning. Some of the properties listed are quite uninteresting. But I hesitate to delete information that's correct, even if it's painfully obvious information (such as 666 being the 333rd even number). What I will do, however, is add the other sums of squares of primes to articles on other numbers. Thanks for bringing up this topic. PrimeFan 22:24, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

P.S. If you find an interesting property for a number but it doesn't have an article, try looking at a rounded down number to see if it has stubs on neighboring numbers (e.g., you find an interesting property for 1723 but there is no article on 1723, see if the article on 1000 lists 1723).
