A happy number N is defined by the condition S(N ) = 1 for some number n of iterations of the function S, where S(N ) is the sum of the squares of the digits of N . Up to 10, the longest known string of consecutive happy numbers was length five. We find the smallest string of consecutive happy numbers of length 6, 7, 8, . . . , 13.

Survivorship following modern total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is good with revision rates generally lower than for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our experience in Belfast supports that fact with original component survivorship of 99% for the low contact stress rotating platform TKA, which is better than our THA survivorship. It is important to discriminate between survivorship and patient satisfa...
