No integer added up to its base 10 digits results in 31, making 31 a self number.

31 is a repdigit in base 5 (111), and base 2 (11111).

Today is the first day since when this thread was made that the magic number hasn't dropped by at least 1.

CURSE THIS THREAD!!!

The Cards fans are baskin' in their team's 8-game lead over the Cubs.

During this unexpected surge to put the division away, it seems that even a Timothy Robbins-type character from Bull Durham could join the Cards, receive a sprinkling of magic pixie dust, and shut out the Padres for 5 innings.

Proof that our magic number of 31 is headed for 0.
