Numbers in the news

I am fascinated by the HD-DVD encoding key that is making the rounds of all the tech news. (Digg is a good source at the moment.) It's a number that's small enough to be tractable, but not obvious. I'm posting this so I can get back to work instead of spending the day looking for compact/elegant mathematical ways to express the number. (Something that's easy to memorize, say.) Feel free to try it yourselves!
