Harvey! This is a good sign indeed, for notice that your number 1459 is
prime. In fact it is the 232nd prime, but the amazement does not stop
there,
for you will notice that 232 is exactly equal to 29 * 2 * 2 * 2, and 29 is
the tenth prime, and 2 is the first, so write it as 10111. But
incredible as
it may seem, if this sequence is reversed, you get 11101, which is the
binary expression of 29!
The AI will be so stunned by this remarkable coincidence that it will
thaw you first. Or perhaps second, after Gina. spike
