	13 (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		13 is the only positive integer that is the fourth root of the sum of the squares of two successive positive integers (119 and 120).
		The 13th root is the most famous integer root calculation record, because 13 is the first prime number over 10 such as the last digit of a 13th integer power is the same as the last digit of its 13th root.
		The number is also considered unlucky by some as it is the sum of 1+4+5+3, the year of the fall of Constantinople to the Turks, marking the end of the Byzantine Empire, though it may be considered lucky by Turks on the same basis.

	Triskaidekaphobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thirteen may be considered a "bad" number simply because it is one more than 12, which is a popularly used number in many cultures (due to it being a highly composite number).
		Some buildings number their floors so as to skip the thirteenth floor entirely, jumping from floor 12 to floor 14 in order to avoid distressing triskaidekaphobics, or using 12 and 12b instead.
		Interestingly, "13" is often considered a lucky number in these cultures since the word "three," pronounced "san," is similar to the pronunciation of the word "live" or "survive" in Chinese and Korean.

	EAN-13 SYMBOLOGY
		Number System: The number system consists of two digits (sometimes three digits) which identify the country (or economic region) numbering authority which assigned the manufacturer code.
		The check digit is the number which, when added to the totals calculated in step 4, result in a number evenly divisible by 10.
		The first character of the EAN-13 number system code (i.e., the first digit of the EAN-13 value) is encoded in the parity of the characters of the left-hand side of the symbol.

	Puzzle 242. Sum of distinct squared primes
		In order to express a number which is a multiple of 24, we would need at least 13 distinct primes squared.
		So 13 is a minimum for K. To express a number N=24n+1 could potentially require only 1 prime, but there are infinitely many numbers that are not the square of a prime.
		If a number of the form 120k+75 is the sum of fewer than 16 distinct squared primes, it is the sum of exactly 3 distinct squared primes, one of which is 25.

	Main Articles: 'ISBN-13: New Number on the Block', Ariadne Issue 41
		As a result of electronic publishing and other changes in the publishing industry, the numbering capacity of the ISBN system is being consumed at a much faster rate than was originally anticipated when the standard was designed in the late 1960s.
		Numbers in the new range will only be allocated once numbers from the old range have been exhausted.
		They also rejected the idea of changing the ISBN into a 'dumb' number (eliminating the region/country and publisher identifiers) and culling all unassigned numbers for use elsewhere: because of the need for a strong central database to administer assignment and prevent duplication, this would be a costly and complex solution.

		Recent examples include time to discontinuation of a contraceptive, maximum dose of bronchoconstrictor required to reduce a patient's lung function to 80% of baseline, time taken to exercise to maximum tolerance, time that a transdermal patch can be left in place, time for a leg fracture to heal.
		The survival curve is unchanged at the time of a censored observation, but at the next event after the censored observation the number of people "at risk" is reduced by the number censored between the two events.
		The effect of the censored observations is to reduce the numbers at risk, but they do not contribute to the expected numbers.
