214 Only Factors are 1, 2, 107, and 214? Correct me if I missed any. Hey wolfmeister, thanks for getting this thread going, and do you have a source for all this info. or are you doing all the calculations yourself. Also, I always use the term triangular numbers rather than pyramid numbers. Do you know about other polygonal (figurate) numbers? ---

          **218** This is the product of 2 primes           218 = 2 \*109 and moejuck thank you. I really like this thread. I think we both helped keep this “alive”. As far as my source, I just play around on an Excel™ spreadsheet trying to get interesting combinations for numbers. For example, that 209 posting was just a matter of luck. ---

**219**         21\*9 = 189         21+9 =   30                     219 Okay, moejuck I think triangular numbers is a better term. I have heard of **pentagonal numbers**. Such a number would be a triangular number summed with its _corresponding_ square number. For example the fourth pentagonal number = 10 + 16 = 26. ---

According to CNN, the Bushmaster **223** is an accurate, yet inexpensive weapon. [http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/South/10/24/sniper.bushmaster.rifle/](http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/South/10/24/sniper.bushmaster.rifle/) The threads about submissives have got me thinking. Do you suppose our president would respond well to some training using a bushmaster?
