    I don't think that this produces correct results, as it seems to determine whether each individual number is Numberwang. However, whether a number is Numberwang can also depend on the previous numbers in the sequence or other factors.

    So I think as it stands right now this model can only determine whether a number would be Numberwang as the first number of a sequence, but even for that I still wouldn't rely on this in the actual game show.

      Do we really know that? Or have we only seen the sequences from people searching for Numberwang? Has a number been both Numberwang (or Wangernumb) and not Numberwang (or Wangernumb)?

        Yeah, we do - there's a famous episode where after rotating the board both contestants stubbornly kept picking 1, and after a couple of iterations one of them was Wangernumb.

        I'm also not sure that we know a non-number can never be Numberwang.

          A non-number could be either a Numberwang OR a Wanganumb - this does depend on whether Yorkshire is a pudding or not.

        You're playing with fire here, don't forget the tragedy of Colosson. Computers weren't meant to do this.

          For those confused by this, here is the Mitchell and Webb "Numberwang" sketch

            Hello I have a question, and my question is what the fuck

              That's not even a number.
