Blog Post #76 Speciality of 1991

Chose this number since this is the entry year into my Alma Mater and we are celebrating our 25th anniversary this year :)

1991 is unique in few ways

a) It is a palindrome (stating the obvious :))
b) 1991 = 181 x 11 and 181 is in turn is a palindrome and 11 as well!!!
c) Observe the pattern of the digits that make up these numbers

1991 = 1^2, 3 ^ 2, 3^2, 1^2
181 = 1 ^ 2, 2 ^ 3, 1 ^ 2
11 = 1 ^ 2, 1 ^ 1

d) 19 x 91 = 1729 which is the magical Ramanujam number and that itself is a elite group to be in

e) Last but not the least, 1991 - 1729 = 262 which is again a palindrome!

As you could see 1991 is unique in so many ways and no wonder the entire batch rocks!
