268 is the country calling code for Swaziland
268 is also the telephone area code of Antigua and Barbuda in the North American Numbering Plan
The 268 area code has been linked to a form of telephone fraud known as the "one ring scam". The person perpetuating the scam calls the victim via a robodialer or similar means, sometimes at odd hours of the night, then hangs up when the phone is answered with the hope that they will be curious enough to call the number back. When the victim does this, an automatic $19.95 international call fee is charged to their account, as well as $9.00 per minute for the duration of the call Quote

272 is one of the telephone area codes covering the northeast quadrant of Pennsylvania. 570 is the main area code, while 272 is an overlay covering the same territory as 570
Derek : "In the early 20th Century" means in the years 1900 - 1909. Where does 271 come into it? Quote

The use of laser cooling enables us to produce temperatures less than a billionth of a kelvin. In the vicinity of absolute zero, matter exhibits many unusual properties, including superconductivity, superfluidity, and BoseEinstein condensation.
My favorite number!

(Jeffie, to be more specific. In 271 C.E., an early form of the magnetic compass was invented in China. I posted what one source said about it.) Quote
