Interesting number paradox
The first number that can be considered "dull" rather than "interesting" becomes interesting because of that fact.

Re: Paradox
Assume that you have a non-empty set of natural numbers that are not interesting. Due to the well-ordered property of the natural numbers, there must be some smallest number in the set of uninteresting numbers. Being the smallest number of a set one might consider not interesting makes that number interesting after all: a contradiction.
