"Some have wondered why Wang chose such a seemingly arbitrary number as $65,355,999,994" int((2^16 - 180) * 999999.9999 + 1) = 65,355,999,994

  This proposed explanation just moves the abitrariness to "why 180" and "why that amount of 9s"?

    (65,355,919,909 + 80,085) = 65,355,999,994 obviously /s
