I was at a meeting recently where the person was talking about the Charles Bridge in Prague. He mentioned that there is a plaque on the bridge giving details of when it was built and by whom. He said that the foundation stone was laid on 9 July 1357 at 5.31 a.m. so that when the numbers are all put in line they read: 1357975311357 (year) - 9 (day) - 7 (month)- 5:31 (time). He mentioned that it was a progression of prime numbers. On this point he was not correct because neither 1 nor 9 are prime numbers (2-3-5-7-11 are the first few). However, I thought some of you who are going to Prague might be interested. Egg yolks were added to the mortar to strengthen construction. It is a UNESCO listed monument. The Charles Bridge, is at the top of every visitors "must see" list and there are Czech artists, musicians and souvenir vendors set out. There is a web-site at www.myczechrepublic.com/prague/sightseeing for anyone interested.
