what is your favorite number?why?

My favorite whole number is 1729.  Why?  Because there is a wonderful and memorable anecdote about that number.  It has been said that one time, when brilliant Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan was sick on what would be his deathbed, his mentor and friend G.H. Hardy (an excellent mathematician himself) came to visit him and remarked that the license plate of the taxi that had taken him to the hospital was 1729, a number that had impressed Hardy as rather boring.  To Hardy's surprise, Ramanujan immediately replied that Hardy was wrong.  In a snap of the fingers, Ramanujan had come to the realization that 1729 was indeed a very interesting number.  As it turns out, 1729 is the smallest positive integer that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. Indeed, 1729 = 10^3 + 9^3, and 1729 = 12^3 + 1^3.

Lots of numbers show up frequently, especially when you are looking for them.  This is a relatively common phenomenon that is experienced by quite a lot of people.\n\n1024 is a very commonly occuring number because it is 2^10\n1023 = 2^10 - 1\n\nThere is a movie called Pi, it is about a guy who becomes obsessed looking for a particular "216" number as it is called.  After I watched the movie, I've noticed that I see the number 216 quite frequently.

69.\n\nOkay, okay... it's useful on a race car so the number reads the same from all perspectives from the track, and even if the car gets turned over. Geez...

Absolutely.  I find that the numbers 0-9 are extremely common in my life.  In fact, almost all the numbers I encounter are 0-9 or larger numbers made up with 0-9 as the digits.  That's so totally wierd, isn't it?  It's like I'm psychic or something.

It's fun to call 1-800 numbers at random or by using key words.  See how many in a row are for sex talk - you'd be amazed.  Call numbers like 1-800-hot-mama, 1-800-big-boobs, etc.  It's hilarious.  I called one by mistake one time and just decided to see how often it happens if I start calling at random.  Like I said, the number of sex chat lines is amazing.
