Interesting number paradox description |
---|
The interesting number paradox is a semi-humorous paradox which arises from the attempt to classify natural numbers as "interesting" or "dull". The paradox states that all natural numbers are interesting. The "proof" is by contradiction: if there exists a non-empty set of uninteresting natural numbers, there would be a smallest uninteresting number – but the smallest uninteresting number is itself interesting because it is the smallest uninteresting number, thus producing a contradiction. * The number 1729 has been called a taxicab number, because in a discussion between the mathematicians G. H. Hardy and Srinivasa Ramanujan about interesting and dull numbers, the former remarked that the number 1729 of the taxicab they had ridden seemed uninteresting, and the latter immediately answered that it is interesting, being the smallest number that is the sum of two cubes in two different ways. |
