What's your favorite number?

8 is my favorite. Probably because my birthday is 9/16. 9 is next to 8 and 16 is a multiple of 8. There's also some other reason why, but I don't remember.

I wonder why there are so many of us that like the number 42? :thinking:

Besides 42, I also like the numbers 59 and 64.

I'll graduate high school at age 17. So it has to be, most definitely, 17.

Well, all of my *favorite* numbers are irrational or zeroes of the Riemann-zeta function, but I am partial to 23. ~:>

Lets see... 3 because that has been my number in every sport I've played since the third grade.
probably 7.. because 3/4 of my friends' birthdays fall on a day with a 7 in it.

Favorite: 28 (It is my house number in the road I live in)

Hated: 1707 (It has to do with the fact that it was the year Acts of Union signed between England and Scotland.)

Would that be the subject of Parcel of Rogues? If so,

Ooh, lots of 4 people here. :D

It's considered unlucky in Chinese (slightly homonymous with the word for death), but I chose it as my favourite before I found that out. It's the number of people in my family, it's even, and it's generally awesome.

Five. For so many reasons. Five actually has a (hard-to-explain) special significance to me.
