Smith numbers
You reverted your post while I was writing a reply so maybe you realize this but here is what I was writing. The article said:

The starting elements of the smallest Smith n-tuple in base 10 for n=1,2,... are:
 * 4, 728, 73615, 4463535, 15966114, 2050918644, 164736913905, …


 * This does not claim that 4 is a Smith brother. It says that 4 is the smallest Smith number. An n-tuple is a sequence of n elements. So (4) is the smallest 1-tuple (a single Smith number). (728, 729) is the smallest 2-tuple (Smith brothers), (73615, 73616, 73617) is the smallest 3-tuple, and so on. It's also explained in the reference and A059754. I have added an explanation to the article.[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Smith_number&diff=938750642&oldid=924792905] By the way, I discovered the smallest 7-tuple at 164736913905.

 * Hi @PrimeHunter
 * Thanks for your message (and hope this is a reasonable way to reply!). First, you are right, and i was wrong.  As soon as i had written my comment, i realized that i had made a mistake.  Because, as you say, that sentence never claimed that following was a list of Smith brothers.  It only claimed that it was, as you say, a list of the first n tuples.  I am surprised that the Smith number sympathizers are so on top of the page that as soon as i goofed, i'd be called out on it, even before i could erase my mistake!!! :) :) :)  But i'm glad you have such sharp eyes, and hope that you have a chance to make many discoveries about the Smith numbers, or primes, or whatever you are most interested in! :) :)  Son of eugene (talk) 17:09, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
