I chose 11. You don't think about it a lot, so when you do, it feels a little more special than the others.

Numbers are only a representation. If everyone was used to using base 14, but 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 had different symbols, so that you only reached double digits when you hit 14 instead of 10. So the number 14 would look like 10. And 28 would look like 20. And 27 would look like 1(symbolfor13).
So my favorite number is the only real number. Zero.


I say this all with a grin too.

But since I can't vote for zero, I'm gonna go with 5. Because it just feels right to say 5 and think in 5s. Plus I love to break 5, 10, 15, and 20 down into smaller prime subgroups in composition.

I've always had a thing for 7.


I can see the appeal of 3 because of all those curves though...
5 has a nice blend of both.

I've always said my favorite number is zero.  It's the one number you can always count on.

I just hope Equality doesn't come in and ask me to explain why.

But it should get it's own option simply out of honor. Tongue

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.
