462 is one of those numbers in which the centre digit is the sum of the outer two. That generally also means it's divisible by 11.

464 - the number of legal positions of the two kings in chess.

Also I'd like to make the bold claim (though backed up by experience!) that London bus number 464 is the hardest-to-reach bus on the network - apart from London bus connections it's connected to the Croydon Tramlink at New Addington, which is the NORTHERN terminus of the bus route, and technically you can also reach it via Biggin Hill Airport by chartered plane.

Breckenridge 471 Small Batch IPA

471 is a small batch, limited edition ale that was created by Breckenridge to separate the weak from the strong. 471 is a double IPA, that combines Pale, Munich, Caramel-30, Carapils and Torrified Wheat malts, with Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe and Fuggles hops. It has a big sweet mouthfeel, followed by more hoppiness than you’ve ever had at one time. In other words a very good bottle of beer.

Sounds delicious!

This is one of the first globes made by the Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator in 1541, 472 years ago. Mercator is best known for giving us the map projection that is still used for navigation today.
