about favourite numbers
Apparently 7 is everyone's favourite number : http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014 ... psychologyinformal calcudoku.org poll: what is your favourite? (from the range [0, ..., 9])

Re: about favourite numbers
When limited to [0,1,..,9] I confess to being a fan of 7, hands down. I'm not the iconoclast I thought I was.

Re: about favourite numbers
Mine is 9. When I was little it was 4, later changed to 8, but settled pretty soon on 9 7 is my unlucky number, always has been. I avoid it if possible

Re: about favourite numbers
When I was one I was just begun When I was two I was nearly new When I was three I was hardly me When I was four I was not much more When I was five I was just alive But now I am six, I'm as clever as clever. so I think I'll stay six now for ever and ever.

Re: about favourite numbers
I love 44, I like 4 – it reminds me of an orange color which I like too…

Re: about favourite numbers
9 has always been a favourite (except when you have to guess "the number" between 1 and 10 and then I'll always go with my age (ie: because I'm 69 then 6+9=15 and 1+5 =6) so this year I'd go with 6 for guessing games.....9 because of the multiplication of any number by 9 will always give you 9 when you add the digits.....off topic, the number I see most often is 404!

Re: about favourite numbers
I still have the same favourites as in the poem: "I like the nine and seven eleven and five some of them are prime." viewtopic.php?f=2&t=106

For some reason, I always see three as being green, my favorite color, which actually makes sudoku puzzles much easier as it allows me to quickly identify any missing numbers. (It could just be the patterns of the numbers, but I always imagine that the numbers each represent a color)
