Abstract
Folklore tells us that there are no uninteresting natural numbers. But some natural numbers are more interesting then others.

We will further show that for every base there are finitely many Munchausen numbers in that base.
For all the mathematics enthusiasts and scholars out here, we have Slack and Freenode IRC channels[1][2] to discuss mathematics and computer science literature like this. It is a reading and discussion group that focuses on math and CS books, articles, and papers, as well as…
