You may notice that the
Mathworld citation essentially says "made up by some guy on Usenet in 1990". I'm not sure how something like that got in, but we don't necessarily have to propagate Mathworld's foibles. Googling reveals no other serious citations of the McNugget number that I could find, only
337:. Also, the question of whether this article is a trademark violation deserves comment, in addition to the possibly copyvio in regard mathworld noted below. If it is a trademark violation, it would be

because (a) this article is hardly expandable; (b) Coin problem will be improved by it; (c) there is an element of copyvio with regard to mathworld

as is, Mathworld citation is enough for me. Also these are important if you wish to order exact numbers of mcnuggets
