What's your favorite number?

[MichiganJFrog]

This was an actual security question on some form I had to fill out. I found the answer was surprisingly easy: 21132. Why? It calms me down.

 

[Ink]

I like 27

 

[Coolydudey]

Phi (1/2*(1+sqrt(5))

 

[Fukyo]

7

 

[snafupants]

Phi (1/2*(1+sqrt(5))

Me too!

 

[BigApplePi]

4 because you can add two and two or multiply two and two and get the same number. Otherwise it's 78,557.

4, 25, and 85. they are also my birthday 4/25/1985 however, as far as numbers go they seem to have some unique properties that I find interesting. Like since I was born in a 5/mid decade year its actually quiet easy to calculate my age. My birthday is the also the last calendar Day that Easter can fall on. 25 is also exactly 1/4 of 100. The math mathematical realities go on and on. It may have been better to be born of 1/25/75 or 50 but I still like the number 85.

Really it just comes down to preference. Of all the number 25 is my favorite.

 

[GodOfOrder]

Could you have guessed that my favorite number is also Phi?

 

[MichiganJFrog]

Phi (1/2*(1+sqrt(5))

I'd like to see what would happen if you entered that on an HTML form.

 

[Proletar]

1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29.

It's like club of numbers that always seem to be found somehow together everytime I doodle with a calculator.

 

[bartoli]

43, because it's for free

 

[Chad]

43, because it's for free

2045

 

[Absurdity]

'Cause size matters.

 

[pjoa09]

3,8,13,15,23,88

I like tits.

 

[Coolydudey]

78,557.

Hehe, interesting property, but I still think phi is cooler...

10:08

Based on an old Jethro Tull concept album.* The protagonist of the story dies and goes to purgatory. After trying out heaven (too boring) and hell (too nasty), he decides he'd rather trade his halo and horns for his old hat. One particular sequence near the end is called "10:08 to Paddington", his metaphorical train back to life.

Now, whenever I see 10:08 on the clock, it reminds me to make the most of life, or literally, "time to get a life".

*The aforementioned album, Passion Play, unfortunately kinda sucked. Their other concept album, Thick as a Brick, is far better, and is actually my favorite album to date.

9

Such a perfect number...simple, pure, deceptively easy to add, multiply and subtract because its just 1 less than 10. And what an ideal age to be in human years.

Also, it's odd, which is always a plus, and apparently none of you favor it, which makes it comfortably un-trendy/hip/cool.

[MichiganJFrog]

This one always stuck in my head, even though 11 is not anywhere close to being my favorite number.

The Good 11

 

[TheScornedReflex]

7

But.. That's my favorite number!!


And 0.

 

[Philovitist]

3 is a magic number, y'know.

 

[joal0503]

i remember when it was so cool to giggle and make faces every time i heard "69"

 

[pjoa09]

I still do.

It doesn't seem so cool anymore.

 

[joal0503]

I still do.

It doesn't seem so cool anymore.

it might not be cool anymore to laugh. but now its just awesome because we can actually do it

 

[BigApplePi]

17, because a 17-sided regular polygon can be drawn with just ruler and compass.

Edit: That was my 3rd favorite as I mentioned two before.

 

[Inappropriate Behavior]

I hate numbers

 

[Ex-User (5841)]

Am I seriously the only one to represent the glorious 83?

 

[Felan]

42, 69, and 86 ... mostly because they have fairly common meaning beyond just the number

 

[snafupants]

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know.

 

[MichiganJFrog]

As the OP, I reserve the right to change my favorite number without notice.

New favorite number: 99

@IB
After this, I'm hiding every number I can find from you. If I miss any, I'll spell them out with letters.

Get behind that # and you'll have a ball.

Damn I like 27 too. 2, 7, and really any combination of them. 270 might be my favourite..... Are there a lot of 7's on here? seems that way..... I guess people just wanna be lucky

Yes it is...it's a magic number.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

I don't know why exactly.

 

[QuickTwist]

Either 22, 64 or 89... or 7

 

[Thomas A. Anderson]

-1

Why do people always pick positive numbers? Half the numbers are being left out. Poor them...

-1 = e^(i*pi)

How cooler can it be?
