On Episode 73 of Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper (Jim

Parsons) said that the perfect number is 73. 73 is the 21st
prime number, and its mirror, 37, is the 12th and its mirror,
21, is the product of multiplying 7 and 3. Also, 73 in binary is
a palindrome, 1001001, which backwards is 1001001. But
according to Euclid, a perfect number is a positive integer that
is equal to the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the
sum of its positive divisors excluding the number itself (also
known as its aliquot sum). What is the smallest perfect
number according to Euclid’s criterion?
