Fifty-seven is the sixteenth discrete bi-prime and the sixth in the (3.q) family. With 58 it forms the fourth discrete bi-prime pair. 57 has an aliquot sum of 23 and is the first composite member of the 23-aliquot tree. Although 57 is not prime, it is jokingly known as the "Grothendieck prime" after a story in which Grothendieck advances it as an example of a particular prime number.
As a semiprime, 57 is a Blum integer since its two prime factors are both Gaussian primes.
57 is a 20-gonal number. It is a Leyland number since 25 + 52 = 57.
57 is a repdigit in base 7 .
See also 57-cell.

This is not a post. 
Does that mean exactly 57 years old? Not one day more or less? So would 57 1/2 count? Are you counting from conception or birth?

I've been checking out the spotted dick in the grocery store the last two visits. I've been too chicken to try it. I will buy some tomorrow and report.

We do not have to refer to ourselves as 57 years old -- we are 39, hexadecimal! You can ban me from this thread starting on Tullio Campagnolo's birthday this summer.

August 26. That's a great day to be born, and I should know.

In my old neighborhood there two brothers who both had birthdays on Aug 26th. But they were born 3 years apart.

I would think that fresh spotted dick would taste better than canned - and I can hardly believe that I can write this in a way that could be included in a PG-rated forum.
