    Everyone has to have a number that for some reason they consider "lucky"...


    So what's yours, and why is it lucky to you?

    Well since numbers are infinite somewhere along the line there must be a number called Clyde.

    So naturally Clyde is my lucky number.

    I estimate that 50% of the people responding will answer 69.

    And since this is a geek board, the other 50% will answer 42.

    End of thread, everyones goes homes nows.

    The whole concept of a 'lucky' number is irrational, as is the concept of 'luck' itself.


    That said, I always pick 7 as one of my lottery numbrs... :calli:

    This is Euler's identity. The spooky thing about it is that it relates all the really special constants in math (pi, e, i, 0, and 1). If there's a God, this is his signature. :calli:

    I, too, like 7. The child's three names each has 7 letters. And his number at the Academic Decathlon was V7 (V=Varsity, 7th team member)

    I am the exact opposite, which is kinda weird considering the OCD situation I had when I was younger about needing everything to be symmetrical. :shrug:
