    nowadays, 79 is young! :smile: My parents are in their 80's, and they are in better shape than some 18 year olds.

    You know, I always did want to see that, and never got around to it. Perfect snow day activity!

    So I did a search for the most interesting thing about 79. One suggestion: Take any two numbers that are "n" and "n+2" but start with different digits (like 29 and 31, or 78 and 80. Reverse them (92 & 13 87 & 08) and subtract the smaller from the larger. The result is always 79. Gee whiz.
