Hint: copy/paste the weird looking text into the text field provided in the above mentioned website. Even after decryption, I couldn't follow what he meant, but I was hoping someone out there can do so and then explain it differently, thanks. It's a real mystery.

Why is this still Incomplete? Unless someone wants to catalog all 1000 characters, there's not much left to do. | Why is this still Incomplete? Unless someone wants to catalog all 1000 characters, there's not much left to do. | ||

Useless fact: 1024 is also a round number in base 4 and base 32. {{unsigned ip|173.245.49.108}} | Useless fact: 1024 is also a round number in base 4 and base 32. {{unsigned ip|173.245.49.108}} | ||
The mathematical definition of a round number is not dependent on a "base", but upon the prime factors of the number; i.e., all prime factors must be less than the square root of the number. Thus, 1000 is round because its prime factors are 2 and 5 which are under 32 and so is 1024 which has only the prime factor of 2.--DrMath 07:15, 17 February 2015 (UTC) | The mathematical definition of a round number is not dependent on a "base", but upon the prime factors of the number; i.e., all prime factors must be less than the square root of the number.
