I'm not a math guy, but I was thinking about a number series the other day, and 42 popped up. Do the numbers 1,806; 3,263,442; and/or 10,650,056,950,806 happen to have any significance as well?

The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences is one of the coolest things on the net.

Thanks! Interesting that mine's off by one...
