You must realize that, for example, -boolValue would map a great many different NSNumbers to the same return value, but that doesn't imply that the NSNumbers are equal.

I assumed this is the case because regardless of whether or not you call -boolValue or -longLongValue, -hash returns the same result. I've already shown that they do indeed contain the same value, when -longLongValue is called on both items. See the dbg output.
