Talk:Strobogrammatic number

2 and 7

It seems to my memory that I saw, many years ago, a magic square in which the figures 2 and 7 were versions of each other rotated 180 degrees. The figure 7 had a curly tail. -- Wavelength (talk) 16:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

I suggest that the article title be changed to "Strobogrammatic numeral" rather than strobogrammatic number, since the property is a feature of the numeral used to represent the number, rather than directly of the number itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.39.149.218 (talk) 13:31, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is 2 Strobogrommatic or not?

The opening makes a point that 0, 1, and 8 are, but then lists 2 as one of the numbers as well.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:5790:3920:1c33:4884:315a:a7a9 (talk • contribs) 16:21, October 27, 2018 (UTC)

I suppose it's how one considers the 'glyph' of the numeral. Technically the number/numeral "1" can even be discounted were the serifs to be considered. Nagelfar (talk) 03:53, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Upside down year

I suggest that Upside down year be merged into Strobogrammatic number, possibly by changing the section Strobogrammatic number#Popular culture into a section "Upside down year" containing the lead of Upside down year. The term Upside down year should probably be retained. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:57, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be no objection.... — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:58, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
