Robin Williams could post here. Dave Winfield could post here. Cheryl Ladd could post here. Unfortunately, I cannot.

I must apologize for the last post, which was a clear violation of my previous commitment.

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.

I promise only to post here in the form of comments in preparation for my 57th birthday, when I promise to pen original posts on a daily basis.

Oh that's just great. First DenverFox wants me to spell and now you want me to employ higher math. I'm outta here. Good night.
BTW, not only have I seen Spotted Dick in a pub in England, I was treated for it.

I'm another rule-breaker. But in 6 days I'll be eligible. But who really cares?

I can't therefore I won't. This is timtruro not posting on the 57 year old thread, because it is not allowed. Pay no attention to that poster behind the curtain. I am the all mighty and powerful OZ, and there is no way you get to see the Wizard, not no way, not no how.
