    He is smart! His head is so big that he has got an offer from BP to cork up the oil spill with his head. The rumor has it that he is the only being who knows how to pass a static method from a COM object, but keeps it in secret because the humanity is not ready to handle this knowledge yet!

        The following number is the only one of its kind: 8,549,176,320 Can you figure out what is so special about it? P.S.: Give a try, before doing a Google please! :)

        Is it prime? That would be a clue, but I have no hope of even guessing. :-O

          Passing a method as a return value from a static COM function is indeed special. They didn't have delegates or lambdas back then. That is something JSOP'esque if ever there was.

                    You must have seen that it has all the numbers from 0-9 once and thus the sum would be 45, which is divisible by 3... not a prime!

                        This one is really bad Brady, if I have a time I’ll post it on the SoapBox later today, or Gonzoox could be so kind and do it himself.

                            In my language, nothing.

                            The bearing of a child takes nine months, no matter how many women are assigned.

                                  Yes I remember this one; if the sum of the digits in a number is divisible by 3 this means that the number is also divisible by 3.
