As long as this thread is still alive, I'd better 'fess up that I
was a math-physics major, although that was over 60 years ago...

Oh good, eight of us now. The only Fibonacci number that's also a cube. :)

Anyone else want in on the club?

And we're not prime anymore. :-(

Well, I graduated high school with honors in math. I guess that makes 8-1/2,
which we might call a Fellini number.

I flunked my IT study, which at that time was a subdepartment of the maths
department. Does that count?

Then I guess together we'd be a 17, having that in common. I was always
partial to Juliette of the Spirits. There was something about Giulietta.

I majored in meteorology--a "hard" science, and had to take plenty of physics
and math. But I did not recognize totitive, either. Actually, it was the
"prime to" phrase that put me off the scent. In my limited knowledge, primeness
is an independent property of a positive integer, so I disbelieved that
definition.
