falborkian numbers
Someone I know said that 329 is a falborkian number. I have never heard of them and I wonder if he is just kidding. I can't see it on the net, but maybe he just got the spelling a bit wrong? I looked up fibonacci numbers in case he got the whole word a bit wrong but it isn't in the list.
Has anyone here heard of a kind of number that sounds like this?

Or knows that it's a beat up because there's no such thing?

Re: falborkian numbers
Sounds like something from Star Trek.
Hmmm ... the only thing special about 329 seems to be that there is nothing special about it.
(That was said in fun of course - because I will probably be proved wrong.)

Re: falborkian numbers
Thanks MathsIsFun. I think I will proceed on the assumption that he invented the term.

Re: falborkian numbers
I don't see anything special too.
It has divisors 7 and 47...
