65 is the number of the French department Hautes-Pyrénées.

Hautes-Pyrénées means "Upper Pyrenees" in English.

I wonder why it got that name...

Several languages do not have a specific word for 70

For example: French soixante-dix "sixty-ten"; Danish halvfjerds, short for halvfjerdsindstyve "three and a half score".

(For French, this is true only in France; other French-speaking regions such as Belgium, Switzerland, Aosta Valley and Jersey use septante.)

Any flat disc record, made between about 1898 and the late 1950s and playing at a speed of 78 revolutions per minute is called a "78" by collectors.

I still have a somewhat battered wind up gramophone for playing these discs in the loft somewhere. Something similar to the one shown below...

 

But I would love to get one of these classics...

As a child we had an electric "radiogram" - the gramophone portion of which, although it rotated at 78 rpm, didn't actually need winding up. Something like this...

In mathematics

79 is:

• An odd number.
• The smallest number that can not be represented as a sum of fewer than 19 fourth powers.
• A strictly non-palindromic number.
• The 22nd prime number (between 73 and 83)
• The smallest prime number p for which the real quadratic field Q[√p] has class number greater than 1 (namely 3).
• A cousin prime with 83.
• An emirp, because the reverse of 79, 97, is also a prime.
• A Fortunate prime.
• A circular prime.
• A prime number that is also a Gaussian prime (since it is of the form 4n + 3).
• A happy prime.
• A Higgs prime.
• A Kynea prime (having the form (2n + 1)² − 2).
• A lucky prime.
• A permutable prime, with ninety-seven.
• A Pillai prime, because 23! + 1 is divisible by 79, but 79 is not one more than a multiple of 23.
• A regular prime.
• A right-truncatable prime, because when the last digit (9) is removed, the remaining number (7) is still prime
• A sexy prime (with 73).
• The n value of the Wagstaff prime 201487636602438195784363

Brilliant! You're going to have to explain a lot of that for me.

80 is the atomic number of mercury (meaning there are 80 protons in the nucleus of a mercury atom).

Oops! Wrong mercury!

• The year AD 81, 81 BC, or 1981.

In 1982, Maggie Thatcher told the nation that she had ordered the sinking of the Argentinian cruiser the General Belgrano in the South Atlantic in the name of the British people. Over 300 human beings lost their lives from that sinking, but Maggie showed not a single shred of compassion. I was born in England, still lived in England, but rang the Irish Embassy in London the following day to claim Irish citizenship on foot of the fact that my father was Irish. It was my way of saying "You didn't order it in my name, Mrs Thatcher."

84 is the atomic number of polonium.

Polonium was first discovered by 1898 by Marie and Pierre Curie, when it was extracted from the uranium ore pitchblende, and identified solely by its strong radioactivity: it was the first element to be so discovered.

Polonium was named after Marie Curie's homeland of Poland.
