Why would you say zero? Please explain.


LOL

It's a nice round number, look at that:

0

I analyze numbers and data for a living.  It's hard to explain, but that number seems to come in handy more than any other.  Plus, tack it on the end of any number, and it will multiply it by ten, for added pizazz.

None of the above. But from this list I prefer 17, followed by 5 and 2.

Intriguing point. Also 13 is the famous unlucky number!

As you have noticed I don't have 0, negative numbers, irrational numbers, or whatever else I missed but when has the parameters of a poll every stopped anyone?


He's also missing rational numbers.

You missed infinitely many numbers not on this list :(

Euler's number would probably be my favorite followed closely by the squareroot of 2.

If we're talking integers, before I studied math it was 11. I enjoyed the primality and the symmetry. It's also cool how it's an iterative number of the multiplicative identity. Since studying it, I've found 11 can be kind of boring, but I guess I'll still say it's 11.

9 and 27 (but that's 9+9+9), because I give too much importance to my birthday (while still cursing my existence in every other regard).

6. Since I was a kid it was my favorite. Probably that's because all the fun stuff was on the sixth channel (now STS) in St.-Petersburg.

2nd favorite: 13. It's a dirty dozen. It's a prime number. It's a Fibonacci number.

You left out my favorite number. 

My second favorite is 6.
