What's your favorite number?

[Devastatin Dave]

Mine? 1

[LeftEyeNine]

9..LeftEyeNine

[Banquo's Ghost]

Pi.

It's the number that just keeps on giving....

[Bar Kochba]

666 number of the beasts

[Rodion Romanovich]

Infinity, but some say it's not a number. Zero is quite interesting too. But I like a variable like x much more than the actual numbers it might stand for, because x might refer to any number, so I don't have to choose a favorite number.

[Ianofsmeg16]

guess

[discovery1]

Sqrt(-1)

A rather imaginative choice wouldn't you say?

[Masy]

42, closely followed by 1337

[Devastatin Dave]

+1 possibly?

[Ianofsmeg16]

Mine is 312...

x = φ | x € (R\Q)

x = 1/2 | x € (Q\Z)

x = -1 | x € (Z\N)

x = 385 | x € (N)

385 is somehow a subconsciuosly remarkable number for me: If I try to come up with a random number with three or more digits, 385 is bound to show up, with the number numbers probably in that order, though it has some variation. 7 will also spring up at some point alongside those three numbers.

Other favourites: 1/(1+1/(1+1/(1+1/(...))))

I'm having a hard time choosing between pi and phi.

Legio: What kind of infinity? Some are more infinitely large than others, some are infinitely small.

7 of 9

Damned trekkie...

Positive or negative infinity works well for me. Or a vector with all values being infinity. Or an n-dimensional matrix where are values are infinity, and guess what n=infinity.

Also I like all numbers contained withing the sets of the set of all sets that don't contain themselves.

My favorite non-going-on-forever number is 64.

[doc_bean]

phi !


we're running out of well known irrational numbers here

[Taurus]

My favourite number is whatever age I am at the time, at the moment that is 17.

However I am also a great fan of the number 89, which is the year I was born.

Captain’s log: remember to not invite Duke Malcolm to the next Star Trek Convention.


I also like 7 because 7 8 9.

[Husar]

number of the breasts

I edited it a bit.

Mine is probably 1985, my year of birth.
Or two, not sure.

[Beirut]

17

also

63

[edyzmedieval]

1, 20 or 13.

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Well nobody's mentioned that other irrational number...

e

I don't really have a favorite number anymore.

[Shadows]

I'm going to go with 27. Why? I have no idea. Its just appealing to me. As is the number 11. My jersey number for my soccer team.

I beg to differ.

My favorite non-going-on-forever number is 64.

[Marcellus]

21 or 42.

[littlelostboy]

The number 2. Cause I'm the second child in my family and I just like 2.
2 is a prime number
2 is an even number
2 is part of the Fibonacci Sequence (the sequence found in the whole universe)
2 is the only number in the number system that has this special property:

1. 2 + 2 = 4
2. 2 * 2 = 4
3. 2 ^ 2 = 4 (thanks to doc_bean for pointing that out)

So yep, 2 is my number. Follow closely by 1.
