A "visual representation" number which is a sum of some simple function of its digits. For example,

1233=12^2+33^2
(1)
2661653=1653^2-266^2
(2)
221859=22^3+18^3+59^3
(3)
40585=4!+0!+5!+8!+5!
(4)
148349=!1+!4+!8+!3+!4+!9
(5)
4913=(4+9+1+3)^3
(6)

are all VR numbers given by Madachy (1979), where n! is a factorial and !n is a subfactorial.
