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 can't tell anyone my favourite number or I'll jinx it.

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.
