2 + 2 = 4
2 * 2 = 4

you forgot:

3. 2^ 2 = 4

i it is

Personally it isn't a single number that I like but the following formula.

e^(i*pi) - 1 = 0

Not true Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice.

My favorite number is 7 just because it was the number I wore in little league baseball.

I agree with littlelostboy:

2

but for different reasons.

1 is obvious. I am 1. But if 2 is possible - something not I, but also existing - that implies all other numbers and choices and possibilities, and also distinguishes and helps define '1'.

Zero is interesting and useful, but I don't really comprehend it (it's like radio & TV for me: just because I don't 'get it' how images and sound can be sucked out of thin air and shown to me, doesn't mean I can't use it).
