Can you solve it?

post

Our original prize crossnumber is featured on pages 48 and 49 of Issue 04.

Rules

  • Although many of the clues have multiple answers, there is only one solution to the completed crossnumber. As usual, no numbers begin with 0. Use of Python, OEIS, Wikipedia, etc. is advised for some of the clues.
  • One randomly selected correct answer will win a £100 Maths Gear goody bag. Three randomly selected runners up will win a Chalkdust t-shirt. The prizes have been provided by Maths Gear, a website that sells nerdy things worldwide, with free UK shipping. Find out more at mathsgear.co.uk
  • To enter, submit the sum of the across clues via this form by 7 January 2017. Only one entry per person will be accepted. Winners will be notified by email and announced on our blog by 21 January 2017.

*A Sierpiński number is an odd number, $k$, such that for all integers $n$, $k\times2^n+1$ is not prime.

Abundant numbers are numbers which are smaller than the sum of their proper divisors.
