A random number

Here is something pseudorandom.

4734068977

I chose the number using the following code…

gimmenum <- function(digits) {
  sample(0:9, digits, replace = T) |>
  paste(collapse = "")
}

… and it wasn’t on Google when I searched (11pm BST, 26 June 2022); however, other numbers close to it were.

Updates

10:30pm, 30 June 2022 (or earlier) another page indexed by Google had the same number.

8pm, 11 July 2022, there are now 27 other pages with the number – all on blogspot. They look rather spammy/scammy.

11pm, 18 July 2022, Google says there are two results but only link to one – this page.

11pm, 26 Oct 2022, Google says there is one result and it links here.

10:30pm, 13 Aug 2023, five scammy/spammy results, four of which have a .ru domain.

9pm, 28 Nov 2023, Google says there is one result and it links here.

7am, 21 July 2024, Google says there is one result and it links here.

7am, 9 Sept 2024, two scammy/spammy results again. Looks like lists of US phone numbers.

29 Dec 2024, one hit – links here.

8am, 15 Aug 2025, in addition to here, three hits to scammy looking reverse phone number lookups. One Russian.

A new number

7 Sept 2025: I chose another random digit (5) using the same code above and appended it to the previous number, giving:

47340689775

There are no hits yet (8:06 am).

3rd Oct, it’s there – one hit. I hereby the claim the number as mine 🙂
