Tap Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Bijective numerals means I can't love zero. One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do Two can be as bad as oneIt's the loneliest number since the number one so....of course my favorite number is 3. It is the next most obvious choice. But 3 is a crowd....so maybe I need to rethink this....baaa baaa black sheep and all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I picked 3, but my reasoning wasn't nearly as finely developed as Tap's. :D I just like 3.

purpleowl Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't have a favorite number. There are some numbers I don't like much. 34. Bleh. Two times seventeen? So...icky. 30 is nice because it's the product of the first three primes. 36 is both a square number and a triangular number, which is fun, but at the same time, 36 isn't very pretty. I could go on. 42 for Hitchhiker's Guide, 47 for Star Trek. Anyway, no actual favorite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
