Addition to my note on  Interesting Numbers :

I said maybe numbers can be both interesting and non-interesting.  I
should perhaps have said interesting in some respects and non-interesting
in other respects.  E.g., 8 is interesting as the first non-trivial cube,
but uninteresting (or non-interesting) as the number after 7.

Also, since I did not explicitly repeat the assumption that we were only
dealing with positive integers, I should perhaps have said that 100 is
the smallest positive integer with 3 digits.  It is also the number of
pennies in a dollar, which is interesting to bankers, and to *some*
mathematicians.

I also forgot to sign my last article.
