    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.

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

        If you think about The Event you can figure it out. (Don't think about The Event).

          It is unlikely to be necessary on HN to remind readers to remain indoors.
