Happy Birthday

Today, Saturday 24th September, would have been Jim Henson's 75th Birthday. In honour of the creator of the Muppets and Sesame Street I bring you Count von Count!


The Count's main purpose is educating children on simple mathematical concepts, most notably counting. The Count has a love of counting (arithmomania); he will count anything and everything, regardless of size, amount, or how much annoyance he is causing the other Muppets or human cast.


The Count's favourite number is 34969 can you work out the prime factors of this number? Cookie Monster's favourite number is rumoured to be Pi. Is it possible to work out the prime factors of Pi? If so what are they, and if not why not?

    OK I made that bit up about Cookie Monster, but I like pie especially apple and blackcurrant!
