N = 17

17 is known as the Feller number, after the famous mathematician William Feller who taught at Princeton University for many years. Feller would say, when discussing an unsolved mathematical problem, that if it could be proved for the case n = 17 then it could be proved for all positive integers n. He would also say in lectures, "Let's try this for an arbitrary value of n, say n=17."

Paris Fleezanis, editor at This is Fly mag, just returned from The Seychelles (Alphonse Island).  Boners were popping and G.T.'s cooperating (mostly).  Fish pictured was the fish of the week.  And, something tells me it's the SOTM front runner.
