I arrive at this conclusion because it appears in over two thirds of the sequences. What can the other numbers discuss with the number 1? It is everywhere. stan I would like to nominate the number 1 as the most boring number. I arrive at this conclusion because it appears in over two thirds of the sequences.

Of course it could be that semi-primes are uninteresting, except they are used in cryptography 12407 has prime factors 19 and 653
12407 is the 3235th semi-prime.

3235 is also semi-prime, with prime factors 5 and 647,
its digit-sum (4) is equal to the digit-sum of its factors (5+647) .

There CAN BE NO UNINTERESTING numbers, 11630 is interesting SINCE it IS the first number in the sequence that is uninteresting, and so on and so fourth with the rest of the numbers, any fact about a single number can be interesting, so, 11630 being the first uninteresting numbers makes it interesting. the matter is so controversial because there is no set definition for what quallifies as interesting or uninteresting, every one is different and the way we think, we cna all have different interesting and uninteresting number IN OUR OPINION, there can't possibly be a set uninteresting number.
