My Favourite Number
« on: December 03, 2009, 01:00:14 PM »
My favourite number is 9.

In Pro Evolution Soccer, I won't play unless my character is number 9.  I want at least nine children.  My favourite times table is the 9 times table.

I was born on the nineteenth of the month in the late nineteen-hundreds

There is a film by Tim Burton called 9 and today, at Tottenham Court Road station, I saw a poster for a film called Nine.

42 in binary is 101010.  4+2+1+0+1+0+1+0 = 9.  Also, we (well, most of us) have a total of ten digits on our hands.  10-1-0 = 9.  Coincidence?

When I do a Google search for the number 9 (numerical representation), it takes Google 0.29 seconds.  A Google search for "nine" takes 0.18 seconds.  Divide that by 2, and you get 0.09 - amazing!
Spoiler (hover to show)

Read more about my favourite number in this Wikipaedia article.  At time of writing, Wikipaedia is number 6 in that Alexa top sites thing.  6 is the binary complement of number nine: 1001 - 0110 :o

I was taking the mick as pi is 3.14159(265...), and as you lot like to change the English language so much I thought you might extend the habit to include math.

When a circle's diameter is 1, its circumference is pi.

It doesn't matter what the diameter of a circle is, its circumference will always be (* X pi).

Whats the fun in that?

Got a cool trick to pull on someone at a bar for petty cash or a free drink.
 Tell someone you can calculate pi to the 20th decimal pointor more just using your mind. then write the answer down on a napkin and have someone check it with a calculater.
Its simple,, all you got to do is understand that its a self repeating number pattern,,,
Once you get the first set memorised,, bobs your uncle.

I like prime numbers,, numbers that can be broken down to 3. Its all neat and tidy.
Then agian,, 23 was a good movie,,
And 1408 was a better book than a movie.
13 was cool,, and so was 7.
Lotsa numbers out there guys.

So which number is the best? The number 4 or the number 9? There's only one way to find out.
