Start with 28, square it, and take away 1. Or go one step up and one step down, thereby multiplying 27 by 29.

Either way, you get 783.

The number 786 is seen as sacred by some Muslims. According to one Arabic system of numerology, 786 is the total value of the letters of Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, which is the opening phrase of the Qur'an and means "in the name of Allah, the compassionate, the merciful".

Unlike the other Boeing planes featured recently, the Boeing 797 doesn't exist. It was the subject of an internet hoax that has been running since 2006.
