Never mind all that! I find no significance in 10,979.
Yon system7 appears to pulled off another Mathematical Coup, today. 😀
He appears to have scored 6/6 in the current weekly BBC MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM:

TBH, I don't usually do so well in these sort of things. Maybe it just suited mine own and Geometrical and Symmetry-based style of Mathematics.
On a recent "Vox Populi" amongst the Mathematicians at my local watering hole in Portsmouth, we asked what the most important number was.
42, said some. One opined 52 ( 2^2 x 13. And also a dubious Nightclub in Newcastle, it turns out) ! I said 1729.

Have a go yourself. I doubt you can exceed my efforts.

My good friend, Martin, posed what o^2 was. I think I got it wrong when opining 1. He said it was 0. I really don't know. 😕
