270	This website originated as a tool to learn, collect and sort numbers. 
271	<br>
272	Not just any numbers:
273	It provides a topically broad list thereof &ndash; worth to be memorized, 
274	not just as part of general knowledge, but as a benchmark to gauge the world we live in.
275	<br>
276	These numbers can either be explored one after another in a quiz-like fashion, 
277	or accessed in an aggregated, tabular form.
278	In addition, there is a simple voting mechanism that allows visitors to up- and downvote records to rate their importance.
279	<br><br>    
280	The purpose of numbers2know.org is <b>not</b> to provide a comprehensive list 
281	to look up numbers, but to encourage and support people <b>memorizing</b>
282	selected numerical values of general interest.
