Quick poll: What is your favorite number?
Follow-up question: Why is that your favorite number??
Mine is three and a half point six. I can't write that in numerals, because then you might get confused. So just read it aloud, and everything will be fine.
Why is that my favorite number? Well, primarily because of the confused-looking face you just made twenty seconds ago, and because I know you read the number at least twice trying to make sense of it.
Runners up: 0 followed by 1 - the favorite numbers of any good economist. Those two numbers make our math a lot easier.
4, although I've spent several minutes trying to figure out why...I've got nothing.
ReplyDelete7 don't know why but it is my birthday number and in the year i was born but i just have always liked it
ReplyDelete17; i like the way it looks and sounds.. in addition it's odd AND prime :) It was also my soccer number for years.
ReplyDelete5: Because our number system is based on 10, its multiples are regular and very recognizable. It is a common number throughout nature (number of digits, starfish, seeds in fruit, etc). It's also a part of the Fibonacci sequence (the fifth term, in fact). In music, the fifth is the strongest (most DOMINANT) interval. It's not too big, not too small. Despite its association with witchcraft, the pentagon is a nice shape. It plays an important role when rounding. Its Roman numeral is V, which is a cool letter. There are probably more reasons but this is all I can think of right now.
