Favorite number

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?

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.

Why would you say zero? Please explain.

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.

You should have said something cool like it makes solving quadratic equations possible :(

42 because it's the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

Indeed, but as I said "when has the parameters of a poll every stopped anyone?"
Also, my guess is there are tons of numbers I don't even know about, so they'd be excluded just out of ignorance.

There probably are, but in our standard Real number system ration and irrational together would cover anything. He's missing imaginary too, but since the idea of a number is so general he's missing more things than we could even talking about. I just assumed he was narrowing his attention to the Reals.

Where is Pi?

Understood. I made these last 2 to mock him actually
