263 (Wikipedia) (wikipedia.org)

I wondered this morning if (english) wikipedia documented natural numbers. It seems that every number is properly documented and has its individual page up to 263, and from 264 numbers are documented by batches. Some numbers pages are more interesting than the rest obviously (73 and 36 are some examples), but in general I find the quantity of knowledge bridges the pages contain is wild.

  In one Māori legend, concerning the 
  creation of mankind by the god 
  Tāne, 36 gods took active part in 
  assembling the various parts of the 
  first human before Tāne breathed 
  life into her.


  36 is the number of degrees in the 
  interior angle of each tip of a 
  regular pentagram.

Enjoy !
