Significant properties of every integer from 0 to 9,999. I'm not sure I see the significance of 1033 = 81 + 80 + 83 + 83 (someone explain?), but most of these are fun.

comments...

The last digits after the 8 in each of 81, 80, 83, amd 83 are 1, 0, 3, and 3, which are the digits of 1033. Magic!

Except that 81 + 80 + 83 + 83 = 327.

Maybe it's one of those things like cities that don't exist being included in maps to protect from copying.

Oh, duh.

8^1 + 8^0 + 8^3 + 8^3 = 1033

I figured this out when I got to 1000 = 103

Ah, makes sense. Looks like this list was cribbed from somewhere else, and the exponentation was lost in a copy-paste. ("Project Redstone" appears to be a file pile, one of my favorite web phenomena.)

Will pay closer attention next time, I promise...

(...favorite web phenomena minus the copyright notice and Google ads, that is...)

And here I thought it was Projected Stone, not Project Redstone.
