Free Clack, finished and winner announced!

[el2k]

My favourite number is 12,407,because it is the smallest "un-cool" number (one that does not appear in the Online Encyclopaedia of Integer Sequences).

So the fact it's the smallest "un-cool" number makes it pretty ****ing cool.  HIPSTER

[razorsharpgears]

Hello there, my favorite number is 911, and let me tell you why.

For my whole life, I can always remember seeing the numbers 911 in combination. From clocks, to food prices, to dates, and anything else supposedly random. At a point this started to really freak me out, and I thought "why is this happening to me, what does this mean?" And to this day I still have no idea what the answer is to those questions. However, I do know that I am not alone in this. If you look online, there are many people who suffer from the same problem. Some people see different numbers in combination, but 911 is definitely one of the most common to see.

I have looked in to the importance of the numbers 9 and 11 and what it could all mean. The number 9 has many meanings, but the most common one is: the number of the patience, the meditation. The number 11 has many meanings, but the most common one is: the number represents the symbol of the interior fight, the rebellion and the mislaying which results from it. But it also represents someone who comes out victorious of the tests with the acquired knowledge. In combination, these two numbers point to the significance of being patient with the internal conflict that one may have. And even before I knew about the true meaning of these numbers, it has always been important for me that I realize it is okay to be undecided, and that time will take its course.

1911 was also the birth, and start of many new ideas and events. Such as the famous pistol the M1911, or the opening of the first United States federal cemetery in Missouri. 911 was also designated as the emergency protocol number for the U.S. because it is short, unique, easy to remember, and the number had never been designated for an office code, area code or service code before.

 ↓ Below is an excerpt from one of Nostradamus's numerous predictions, I have my own interpretation on it, and feel free to make your own. PM me for a discussion if wanted.
Nostradamus's  Centuries, Chapter 9, Verse 11:
Wrongly will they come to put the just one to death,
In public and in the middle extinguished:
So great a pestilence will come to arise in this place,
That the judges will be forced to flee.

911 in math:

• The 456th odd number = 911
• The 156th prime numbers = 911
• The 911th digit of pi = 2

There are many more interesting facts about this number, but these are the reasons why 911 is my favorite number, not to say that it does not scare me at times or intrigue me at others, however.


TL;DR: 911 is a fascinating number shrouded in many mysteries and yet still offers guidance.


Note: My connection to this number has no correlation to the tragic events that happened on 9/11 2001. I offer my condolences to anyone who has lost a family member or friend because of any relations to that event. And I will refrain from commenting on the importance of 911 in this situation due to the touchiness of the subject. If anyone is interested feel free to send me a PM. And again, my full respect and empathy is given to all who died, suffered, or were affected by  this tragedy. Thank you.

42, because it is the meaning of life, the universe and everything. But what was the question?

[longweight]

42 is not allowed for that very reason!

[asura]

I don't want a clack.

But my favourite number is 144

My ideal weight is 144lb, I'm way below at the moment, but I haven't been working out for months (years?).

12,24,36,48,60,72,84,96,108,120,132,144 yup, 144 is the square of 12.

1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144  that's right it's also the 12th Fibonacci number.

It has a lot of other cool numerical traits that I can't remember at the moment... just wiki it  )

It was the year that the 7th emperor of the Han dynasty died, and seven's a pretty cool number in its own right.

[Halverson]

I wish I had some special number that had something was worthy of a clack.
But it's simply 73. 7 and 3 were my lucky numbers, and then when I joined hockey as a kid my jersey number was 73. Since then it's just been my thing.

Google 'big bang theory 73'.

In addition, 7 is the first happy prime and 3 is the first lucky prime.

I don't have a topre board and don't want a clack but 73 is a fantastic number for teaching mathematics...

But even so, it's not why it would be my favorite number. Don't want to add everything about a number to try and make it more special.

[GMC]

You beat my edit, was adding why it would have been my number. Not taking from your reasons dude.

[Halverson]

I thought you were just adding to my reasons why 73 was cool. Didn't realize it was yours as well

The Square Root of 3

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

[Glissant]

Number 7 is my favorite number because it's a Newman–Shanks–Williams prime
I started reading about the number seven after watching the movie Lucky Number Slevin.
The number 7 is also known as a happy prime, which is AWESOME .

(This is not an entry. Good luck to anyone that enters this great giveaway!)

[Kaysa]

My favorite number 3,

First take out the holy pin,
and thou shalt count to 3,
do not count to 4, nor count to 2,
except when 3 is followed after 2, 5 is way out!

Once 3 being the 3rd number counted,
thou shalt throw the holy hand grenade toward thou foe,
and blow thy foe to tiny bits.

I do own 2 topre keybaords and a MX board, and I only own 2 hack orange clack skull 1 mx and 1 topre,
I do want this clack, and by my keyboards, I promise not to sell it at any cost, only for trade in the future.
I did applied for the EK CC drawings for all 8 they have to offer for this batch,
all my submission doesn't went through, and im sad to find out one of my fellow forumer in Malaysia,
got one out of his only two submission...... some luck I've got.

Glad to found this topic here, I was at 94 posts when I saw this,
I just followed up a few on some of those topic I was in or started myself,
and now I m posting here as my 100th post... does this count as doing some maths?

[longweight]

That counts as maths The 100 post count isn't a hard rule, if you have been a quiet member for a long time and are near 100 posts then you can enter

[Alessandro]

This thread is win.

[longweight]

Nice asdf

[damorgue]

Next, someone is going to divide a bunch of masses... Get it?

Long division?

Weights?

 

[bavman]

I have no need for this, but its awfully nice of you to do this.

+10 internets for you

[BossBorot]

zero is my favorite number for many reasons.

Wiki can explain why far better then I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_%28number%29

Also zero is a number of clacks that will remain at my house after I destroy it with a hammer if I win.

[longweight]

Thanks

[aeta]

I like 2.

Things come in pairs.

Like boobs.

Didn't you see my earlier post?

[YoungMichael88]

I like ONE. Because when I was born exactly ONE year later I was, believe it or not ONE! And ONE is the first number! "First" being another form of ONE. Zero is simply a placeholder for NONE and NONE is definitely not ONE aside from the fact that ONE is in the word NONE.  And also ONE is the loneliest number! So it needs some love, at least from ONE person. And also this.... (Supposed to be a picture of a one breasted woman here but I can't upload it.....would have been perfect) .
EDIT: THERE IT IS!

[The_Beast]

Mine is 7 because I've always thought it was lucky. Plus my birthday is 8/15 and 8-15=7, however if you add 8+15 you get disqualified lol

[Wildcard]

I like the number 1216.  My birthday is 12-16 and that's why you should give me this clack.  It's a birthday present.

Or if you prefer, being in the UK:  My favorite number is 1612 as my birthday is 16-12.  Give me that clack as a birthday present.

Wow, mine too. Happy B-Day

I like the number 21, and numbers containing 2&1 usually in a series. I've found it used in so many situations. It's a triangular number, composite number, and a number in the Fibonacci sequence.

Also,

21 - Blackjack
21 - Hello, buy me a drink
21st - The current century
And in 2001 - Hello Dave...

Lastly 12-21-2012 is not the end of the world...

[longweight]

Mine is 7 because I've always thought it was lucky. Plus my birthday is 8/15 and 8-15=7, however if you add 8+15 you get disqualified lol

Your maths is terrible.

[cactux]

I like the constant e=2.71828. At school I got tons of problems that involved the  distribution of prime numbers, and Mr. "e" was alway there :'-(. I used to hate it the first months, but after the first year I started loving it.

If I win, I will give this keycap to "Batmann". I love his avatar ;-)

"Bonne chance, mon pot ;-)"

[precarious]

Well actually "maths" is borne of the short form of "mathematics" which is "math" so what you really said is your "mathss" is terrible, owing to maths necessarily being a pluralized form of "math," therefore, your grammar is terrible.

I would love it even more if you win this and send me the cap on a HHKB  )

I'm afraid you forgot this:
21 grams - the weight of your soul

Not in English my friend

[boost]

I like 16 because that was the age I could legally drive and 21 because I could legally drink then 25 because my car insurance went down. Lol

[tjcaustin]

Is this where I say I like the number 34 because that's the deficit a certain football team lost by today?

[YMSNoms]

Even though I have no interest in winning and I am not eligible,
My favourite number is  171009
Even though it is technically a date it's the number that represents the day I met the girl I fell in love with

[rao2100]

You sir are awesome.

See what I did there.

p.s: Trying to get my post count up.

[Kaysa]

That counts as maths The 100 post count isn't a hard rule, if you have been a quiet member for a long time and are near 100 posts then you can enter

Glad to know that counts, but I m not that long a member yet,
also I did not often float up to the surface and post replies, rather I submerge most of the time and read post or topics that matter.

but as you are in the UK, are you familiar with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

My favorite number is 313 because it's symmetrical in both decimal and binary form (100111001). 313 is classified in many form of prime types (a long prime for example, longweight) and it is considered a happy number as well.

Happy Number Sequence
3² + 1² + 3² = 19
1² + 9² = 82
8² + 2² = 68
6² + 8² = 100
1² + 0² + 0² = 1

p.s. the ascii drawing took a really long time to get right. Quote this to see how crazy it is

and.......(if I may) disqualified! you have 86 post count as you post these.!

[Kellybear]

D:

Damorgue took the reasoning I wanted to use :l but my favorite number is 0.999 repeating! Oh wellllsss.

[fl0w3n]

I enjoy the number .999 repeating, because there are some very strong arguments to be made that .999=1

I've always brought that question up to every math teacher I've had, and enjoyed the discussions it's brought up.

Don't believe it, or wonder why? 

Here's an awesome chick to tell it to you much more entertaining than I can

Edit: which also seems to have already been said, but no one posted a super entertaining video BTW, check out that chicks other videos if you've never heard of her.

[metalliqaz]

I've always said that if it was really one, you'd write '1'.  But is it actually equivalent to 1?  I would say it's infinitely close to 1, so yes it is.

[alvinliang]

i like this post,lol

[Sifo]

The number J.

If you get it I've won if you don't I lost. Meh I just wanted to participate and throw in some Starcraft references good luck to everyone!

[daerid]

I could use a Topre clack.

My favorite number right now is 0.76923076923076923076923076923077

Why?

It's my son's birthday

[fl0w3n]

Did you watch the video

[phetto]

Hey guys, every explanation I've read so far is to do with maths and its nothing personal. The explanation you all are giving is something that you yourself didn't come up with. Share something personal instead you Einsteins!

[rowdy]

I don't really have a favourite number - I like all of them equally, whether they are positive, negative, integral, floating point or imaginary.

Because if anyone of them was missing, a lot of things wouldn't work properly.

[Kaysa]

as previous post stated 3 is my favorite number.

[MissMurd3r84]

Lmao. Mine was the only post that had the .gif removed.

[ICC]

i like 23.will~jordan's number.

[Ovoxo]

My favorite number is 8. 8 in Chinese culture is considered to be a lucky number because it sounds like the word wealth/prosper. It was also Kobe's old jersey number. And if you turn 8 sideways it looks like a pair of BOOBS! oh and also the infinity logo.

[daerid]
