This is amazing. I’d be happy to create an Anki deck for these and any other numbers suggested in this thread.
EDIT: Judging from the upvotes, there seems to be considerable interest in this. I will wait a few days until people stop posting answers and will then begin creating the deck. I’ll probably use the CrowdAnki extension to allow for collaboration and updating; see the ultimate-geography GitHub repository for an example.
I would also definitely use it, just one suggestion: It would be cool if you include a field with the source link for the number so it is easy to go back and take a look. I know it will be quite some work so thanks a ton!
I’d love to use this Anki deck too! Would it make sense to add a google form or some other way to let people express an interest in this, for when you’ve made it? (and/or to express interest in contributing)
I think that’d be great. I suspect you or somebody else ought to have a strong editorial line, because otherwise we’d have too many flashcards + it’d look too much like design by committee.
FINAL UPDATE: The deck is now published.

You can embed flashcard decks into LW and EA Forum posts:

So you could consider creating one of those.
Wow, I didn’t know about this feature.
I will absolutely study that deck.
I’d love to use such an Anki deck!

Hi, yes, we will have a ‘source’ field.
I say ‘we’ because I’m doing this in collaboration with a user who kindly volunteered to help. I think we should be done by the end of the week.
I’d also use such a deck. Thanks for the offer! :)
Thanks so much! I’d also use that deck.
I’d also love this – it’s been on my todo list for about 5 years 😅

I was thinking of announcing it in a separate post, given how much interest this has attracted.

Made a save all based on the Anki deck, thank you! Probably janky/includes errors but had to start somewhere.
