I suppose it's also kind of interesting that base-10 73 is base-14(er) 53. :P
73₁₀ = 58₁₃ = 53₁₄ :lol:

I'm snagging all the sub-summits as I go, so I guess I'll need to eventually show up to one of these events wearing one of Sheldon Cooper's "73" shirts...

Since daway8 is a subsummit finisher and an engineer, I guarantee he has one of those shirts you are speaking of.
