When I took the SATs (1960s) the lowest possible score was 400, since the Verbal and the Mathematical sections each gave a score between 200 and 800.

Thanks to Wikipedia, 407 is a narcissistic number i.e. a number which is the sum of each of its digits raised to the power of the number of digits in the number. 4*3 + 0*3 + 7*3 = 64 + 0 + 343 = 407

When I was a youngster on a farm, I was taught to fire a .410 shotgun, to keep the rabbit population down. It had less recoil than a 12-gauge, but also was not as accurate. The rabbits were relatively safe until I was allowed to use a .22 rifle.
