Fifty-three is the 16th prime number. It is the second balanced prime, and fifth isolated prime.
53 is a sexy prime with 47 and 59. It is the eighth Sophie Germain prime,[1] and the ninth Eisenstein prime.[2]
The sum of the first 53 primes is 5830, which is divisible by 53, a property shared by only a few other numbers.[3][4]
53 cannot be expressed as the sum of any integer and its decimal digits, making 53 the ninth self number in decimal.[5]
53 is the smallest prime number that does not divide the order of any sporadic group, inclusive of the six pariahs; it is also the first prime number that is not a member of Bhargava's prime-universality criterion theorem (followed by the next prime number 59), an integer-matrix quadratic form that represents all prime numbers when it represents the sequence of seventeen integers {2, ..., 47, 67, 73}.[6]
In hexadecimal, 53 is 35, that is, the same characters used in the decimal representation, but reversed. Four additional multiples of 53 share this property: 371 = 17316, 5141 = 141516, 99,481 = 1849916, and 8,520,280 = 082025816. Aside from the trivial single digit numbers, these are the only numbers that share this property.[7]
While we wait for Xmas, have a look at how close the sharks were to the beach. This was here on the Gold Coast.
Sharks feeding on bait fish, just metres from shore. I took a photo from the video.

…. I think l have an addiction.
i bought a red electric quitar in 1988
its made the trip with me to nz
cant play a note on it
bloke in a local band was going to give me free lessons but i managed to run a skilsaw through my fingers so that was the end of that
Sorry to hear that, Kiwi.
As a chippy, l too stuck my fingers under a door that l was cutting…… nicked two and pulled away. Luckily, there ok and are my pick fingers.
I pick up most of my tunes from a given song on YouTube and then add, ‘ -on guitar’ and it brings a several players who show you how to play, break it down real slow and do piece by piece. I could never read music but pick up tunes / notes, real easy.
I was paying so little attention I managed to get one finger twice
Bloody no skill saws
