+ Replacing each digit of prime 229 with its square, respectively its cube, results in two new primes (4481 and 88729) with a palindromic difference of 84248. Coincidentally, 229 + 4481 + 88729 is palindromic as well. [De Geest]

+ There are exactly 229 six-digit Fibomorphic numbers. [Beedassy and Wasserman]

+ 229 is the smallest number n such that 100! + n is prime. [Bajpai]

+ | π(x) - li(x) | ≤ 0.2795 x/(ln x)^3/4 exp (- sqrt((ln x)/6.455), for x ≥ 229. [Trudgian]

+ The smallest prime whose reversal is a Hoax number. [Loungrides]

+ Place the White chess pieces as follows: King on a2, Rook on c6, and Bishop on d5. Place the Black chess pieces as follows: King on a4, Knight on d3, and a pawn on e3. White to move, mate in 229. [Kadatch]

+ 2^229 is a 69-digit number containing only one zero. Is this the largest power of two that has one or more unique digits? [Gaydos]

+ The smallest number n such that 100!+n is prime. Note that 229 is prime. [Loungrides]

+ The smallest prime that can be represented as the sum of first n April Fools primes, (case n=7), i.e., 9 + 21 + 27 + 33 + 39 + 49 + 51 = 229. [Loungrides]

+ The quotient of the following long division puzzle:
