As the longest serving member of the 408 team the burden falls upon me to broadcast the sad news that we have spent our final day in Room 408. We will announce soon what is to become of Room 408 online, but for now we simply wish to pause in silent remembrance at the end of a wonderful era. Thanks to James, Ivona, Kristian, Simon, Ranjan, Mel, Zac, and Chun-Hsu.

That’s so cool that your room number has a funky nerdy interpretation like being “the sum of eight consecutive primes”. I’m in room 314. I don’t know what to make of it. Any ideas?
ps. Sorry about you having to leave

314 is nontotient. It also reminds me of pi.

Sort 314 in descending order and subtract 314 in descending order from it
431 – 134 = 297
repeat
972 – 279 = 693
Now, do the same with 408
840 – 048 = 792
repeat
972 – 279 = 693
Now,
963 – 369 = 594
954 – 459 = 495
it converged!

lads,
i never knew this blog existed – what a cool idea. And damn, the end of the room 408 era? You know, I still have the key…but without the old crew, its no longer a home away from home.
And how dare they move my whiteboard?!?!?!
