This week in the United States, dates written in the usual way without the 20 of 2017 are palindromes that read the same backwards and forwards. That is, July 13, 2017 is 7/13/17. Many friends mentioned this to me perhaps expecting me to create a cache to commemorate the week. Next year, the week is in August.
71317 is also a palindromic prime number in that it reads the same backwards and forwards (palindrome) and is evenly divisible by only 1 and itself (prime).
This particular prime number can also be expressed as the sum of a sequence of consecutive prime numbers: 14243 + 14249 + 14251 + 14281 + 14293. Also 7883 + 7901 + 7907 + 7919 + 7927 + 7933 + 7937 + 7949 + 7951 = 71317. Supposedly there is one other such sequence of consecutive prime numbers that sum to 71317, but I didn't have time to look for it or write a program to do so.
71317 is not a zip code in the United States. But it is a zip code both in Mexico and Lithuania.
71317 is a popular part number: Monroe Strut, Basilur Magic Fruit Tea, Master-Bilt Defrost Timer, Eastern Catalytic Converter, We R Memory Keepers Thumb Notch Punch, Punk Gothic Pants, Evike Condor Speedy Two-point Sling , ...
If you find the container, 71317 can also be a number in your geocaching find list.
