There are exactly 204 irreduciblequinticpolynomials over a four-element field, exactly 204 ways to place three non-attacking chess queens on a 5 × 5 board, exactly 204 squares of an infinite chess move that are eight knight's moves from the center, exactly 204 strings of length 11 over a three-letter alphabet with no consecutively-repeated substring, and exactly 204 ways of immersing an oriented circle into the oriented plane so that it has four double points.
Both 204 and its square are sums of a pair of twin primes: 204 = 101 + 103 and 204 = 41616 = 20807 + 20809. The only smaller numbers with the same property are 12 and 84.
204 is a sum of all the perfect squares from 1 to 64 (i.e. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 204).
