This is what I learnt in Further Maths today (everyone else just learnt about complex numbers):

Odious number
Evil number

And then there are beastly evil numbers.

I think that numbers are morally neutral, anyway the bible says that the number of the beast might be 616 instead of 666

Yes, they can be evil.

Especially those turds that are surds.

I learnt that in A Level maths a couple of weeks ago.

Other than that, maths is great!

I knew that there were "perfect" numbers. But not about the opposite kind.

But all natural numbers are interesting.

Let's assume the set H of non-interesting ones is not empty. Then there is a smallest number in H. But this is an interesting property, contradicting the assumption that the elements of H are not interesting.
