^ it's also a very common number in Ancient Greece, and the Bible, and probably more cultures. Along with 3, 12 and others. But 12 sucks. Anybody who likes 12 is probably a Satanist. No real Satanist actually like 6 or 13, only mainstream Satanists.

7 is cool for a couple reasons.  Songs that are in 7 are more fun to listen to than songs in 4 or 6.  And if you divide any number by 7, if it isn't evenly divisible, you always get the repeating sequence 142857 after the decimal point - starting with any of them but always repeating them in the same sequence.
BRUTAL.

^ 3 is frequently used in Russian literature: 33 bogatyrya (warriors), three wishes fulfilled by the Goldfish for the old fisherman, etc.

Well I'd like to say it's 42 because the Hitchhiker's guide <3. 

But in all honesty it's 3. I love 3. When something is divisible by 3 I'm a happier person. 

Also 7 is cool.

See, I just knew there was something about 11. So easy to forget about it, but once you think about it, it's really a good number.

*would vote for 42 were it an option*



I was gunna say this is research you want to do, but I've been beaten to the punch.
Also lol you best be trolling...

I believe 42 would fall in the "23.2 to infinity (please specify)" range Wink
Goodness PA, I can't believe literally everything needs to be spelled out like thisLOL


People might be confused by your use of infinity as a bounded, finite number. Perhaps saying >=23.2 would have been more illuminating.


Fair point.

Alas, I can't go back now.

Want a nerd answer or a regular answer?

The regular answer would be that all binary jokes are lame.

Out of curiosity: ... [scratching my head] ... why is it lame?
