IDK, but I love the nice even round puzzle number ya got here, #40200!

Now, we just have to create double-and-a-bit-more puzzles until someone gets #90210. OH! That makes me want to go back and solve puzzle #24601! BRB...

I wondered what is special about #24601, so I did a web search.

This page:
https://vocabdictionary.com/explained/what-does-24601-mean-in-les-miserables/

says:

"In Les Misérables, the number 24601 is the prisoner number assigned to the main character, Jean Valjean. This number is significant because it represents his identity as a convict and the hardships he endured during his 19 years of imprisonment for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister’s starving family.

"Throughout the story, the number 24601 serves as a symbol of Valjean’s past and his struggle for redemption. It is a constant reminder of the societal judgment and the stigma attached to his criminal history. Despite his efforts to reform and lead a virtuous life, the number follows him, symbolizing the inescapable nature of his past.

"Jean Valjean’s journey is one of transformation and redemption, and the number 24601 is a crucial element in understanding his character and the themes of justice, mercy, and forgiveness in Les Misérables."


(I've seen Les Mis, but did not remember that number from it.)

And now I know why new comments about puzzle #24601 showed up in the Forum :)
