They're on 2182 as I write this.

The A2199 runs from Herne Hill to Crystal Palace - described on the SABRE Wiki as "an odd number that befits a route with a twist in the tail".

Horray!

(The year) 2200 is a multiple of 100 (and indeed 4) but won't be a leap year.

Back to cubes again: 2201^3 = 10662526601, a palindromic number. This is the only non-palindrome known to have a palindromic cube (see Wikipedia).

2202^5 = 51771002307376032
2202^4 = 23510900230416
2202^3 = 10677066408
2202^2 = 4848804
2202^1 = 2202
2202^0 = 1

Concatenate the above results:

517710023073760322351090023041610677066408484880422021

This number is prime.

2203 (Twenty Two O Three) in Bangkok, Thailand describes itself as a "rural food and homey bar". Look closely, though, and you'll see that parts of its website contain mock-Latin filler text ("lorem ipsum...") rather than the real thing. Haven't seen that for a while.

Mindfields 2204 is a puzzle game. (That's about all the description it merits.)

To the nearest whole number, one tonne (or metric ton) equals 2205 pounds (avoirdupois).

Back to a favourite subject: alcohol.

Here's information about Yeast Strain 2206, used in Bavarian lagers.

2207 Seymour Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, is the house where Ariel Castro held three women captive for over a decade. He was sentenced to life plus 1000 years in prison without the chance of parole, and hanged himself one month into his sentence.

Start a Fibonacci-like sequence using the digits of 2208 and, since there are four digits, add four numbers at a time to get the next number:

2+2+0+8 = 12
2+0+8+12 = 22
0+8+12+22 = 42
8+12+22+42 = 84
12+22+42+84 = 160
22+42+84+160 = 308
42+84+160+308 = 594
84+160+308+594 = 1146
160+308+594+1146 = 2208 (!)

The 47 Society is dedicated to random sightings of the number 47. They claim that "47 appears to be the quintessential random number of the universe. In other words, when a number appears randomly, more often than not, that number is 47. In other other words, if you asked people to pick a number at random, more often than not, that number would be 47."

I've just noticed that 47 is the square root of 2209. Should I inform them?

Why not? Also inform them that they should get out more, and dress up for the occasions they do go out. They might like to look at the 2210 Fashion website to help them do this.

And then they could go to a concert by theband2211. Quote: "We're back after our extended tour of countries that don't have electricity...we're HUGE over there!!!!"

Well, without electricity, I doubt they were able to use their DJI E300 2212 Brushless Motors, then.
