66,

plus a few more numbers.

We average one post every 3.6 hours on this thread which means at this current pace we get about 6-7 posts a day. That means we will reach 1,000,000 sometime in Early August of 2417. Thats assuming that we keep up the current pace and that we will all live another 400 years. Just something to think about.

71

71 is the algebraic degree of Conway's constant, a remarkable number arising in the study of look-and-say sequences.

It is the 20th prime number. The next is 73, with which it composes a twin prime. It is also a permutable prime with 17. If we add up the primes less than 71 (2 through 67), we get 568, which is divisible by 71, 8 times. 71 is the largest supersingular prime. Also, 712 = 7! + 1, making it part of the last known pair of Brown numbers, as (71, 7). It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n − 1. Since 9! + 1 is divisible by 71 but 71 is not one more than a multiple of 9, 71 is a Pillai prime.

71 is a centered heptagonal number.
