  Weird number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a weird number is a natural number that is abundant but not semiperfect.
The first weird number is 70, which is a weird number because the proper divisors of 70 are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, and 35; which sum to 74, but no subset of these sums to 70.
The number 12 is abundant but not a weird number because the proper divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6; which sum to 16, but 2+4+6 = 12.

The pet number of devoted matchpoint players is probably the ‘magic' 200, the score that guarantees a top on a partscore deal (also called ‘the kiss of death', if you happen to be at the receiving end!).
At duplicate, many players agree with Churchill that ‘the most exhilarating experience is to be shot at and missed', so their favourite number is probably 790 or the like (not that 1430 or 2210 are not thrilling numbers as well!).
As to the weird number involved in the deal, it occurred at another table, where the South player fell in love with his aces and got caught in a doubling rhythm.
