See: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interesting_number_paradox" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Interesting_number_paradox</a><p>&#x27;The paradox states that all natural numbers are interesting. The &quot;proof&quot; is by contradiction: if there exists a non-empty set of uninteresting numbers, there would be a smallest uninteresting number – but the smallest uninteresting number is itself interesting because it is the smallest uninteresting number.&#x27;

I love it, already learned some new stuff!<p>One comment though: the background almost made my eyeballs explode...

In reply to a dead comment: The most common definition of natural numbers is &quot;positive integers.&quot; I do agree that 0 is important enough that it would have merited a mention at least.

Absolutely love it - real great way to explore how all numbers are uniquely interesting.

This can be helpful in Project Euler challenges.
