OK, I had to look this one up. I'm surprised they only offer from 1 to 1,000,000. Seems kind of limited when you consider how many numbers are actually out there. Plus, integers only!!! When you consider that there are an infinite number of numbers BETWEEN each pair of integers, well, it just seems like they are being needlessly stingy. Then again, perhaps they don't own these numbers but have simply licensed them from the original owner (Bill Gates? Warren Buffet? Or perhaps the descendents of Newton, or da Vinci, or, perhaps even more likely, Euclid?).
