1000
the answer for puzzle #65

The five clues

  1. A four-digit multiple of one thousand.
  2. A perfect cube.
  3. Its cube root is under fifteen.
  4. Ten cubed.
  5. A kilo of anything (metric convention); also the Roman numeral M.

Backstory

1000 = 10³ = 2³ · 5³, the base of the metric prefix 'kilo-' and the first four-digit number. σ(1000) = 2340 and τ(1000) = 16; it sits between the perfect square 961 = 31² and the power 1024 = 2¹⁰. Every metric prefix from kilo up to yotta multiplies by 1000 at each step.
