259

This number is a composite.

+ 259 = 7 x 37 and there are 7 primes between 7 and 37. [Beldon]

+ The product of first 259 even numbers plus 1, i.e., 2^259*259!+1 is the only non-titanic prime of form 2^n*n!+1 where n is an integer. [Loungrides]

+ The sum of the letters of "two hundred and fifty nine" is the only self-described nonprime if we use the alphabet code, i.e., a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, etc. [Gupta]

(There is one curio for this number that has not yet been approved by an editor.)
