# 100

The natural number following 99 and preceding 101.

Ladies and gentlemen, lads and lasses, the po and ho faced, my hundredth post.
Being shamelessly irony-deficient, it shall be dedicated to a select few, random, awesome things about the roman numeral C (centum).
It is:

the divinely divine to Pythagoreans since it is the square of the divine decad,
10² = 100

sum of the 1st four cube numbers
1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ = 1 + 8 + 27 + 64 = 100

sum of the 1st ten odd numbers
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 100

sum of the 1st nine prime numbers
2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 = 100

a Leyland number (i.e. of the form x^y + y^x, with 1 < y ≤ x)
2⁶ + 6² = 100


Other random fact:
A Googol is 1 followed by 100 zeroes, 10¹⁰⁰ :) and this is where Google got it's name perchance?

and finally, the simple discovery that delighted my geeky 9 year old self,
using every number sequentially and only once on the calculator, with the + and - operators alone, you could get 100:
123 + 45 - 67 + 8 - 9 = 100
