8 = the only single digit #
13 = the smallest prime in the given sequence
21 = the only non-prime with precisely 3 factors: 1, 3, 7
32 = median # of the given sequence
47 = the largest prime less than 50
63 = the only non-prime with precisely 4 factors: 1, 3, 7, 9
83 = the largest prime in the given sequence

The possibilities are endless!
