Geez **x-ray** as I previously mentioned, this thread started out like the proverbial “house on fire” and then ground to a screeching halt (to use a mixed metaphor). I was hoping that someone might jump in with a number sooner or later. **You** wouldn’t happen to have some interesting tid-bit for #186 would you? ---

**190** 190 is a “pyramid number”. Specifically, it is the 19th pyramid number. A quick explanation - the 4th pyramid number is 10. Think of the way the pins are arranged in bowling - 4 rows adding up to 10 pins. Also pyramid numbers have the property of being the sum of consecutive integers. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 (Pyramid #4) So, 190 = sum of the integers 1 through 19. See ? The fun never ends !!! 😃 ---
