In a frantic frenzy of futile factorisation I found:
20637 = 3.3.2293
73602 = 2.9.47.29
0637 = 7.7.13 and
7360 = 320.23
Pretty doubtful as to how useful any of these are though.
I'm a tad partial to 7360 myself: or maybe Club 2390 (= a very dull
2.5.239), which if you squint at it/scribble it just right could pass for L3g0.
Perhaps it's all a bit Pythagorean for the mug punter -- maybe not. The
Clone Building Dark Siders will kindly notice that our number system has no
good way of approximating an "M", an "A" or a "K". Coincidence? I think not...
