for me it's probably the number 2. because it is the smallest prime, the only even prime, and it is one of the only two primes (other being 3) which are directly consecutive between one another. also 2 + 2 = 2 * 2 = 2^2 = 2^^2, etc.

I'm partial to e. It's really a mathematically elegant number.

It would have to be i, even though it's not real. The concept of it explains what I love most about the subject :3

I think Pi is a great number.
But to be honest, it's a bit weird to say you like one number better than another. All have there specialty's, I like them all :amuse

11

It's my birth date. :)

Also... 1 + 1 = 2 ...a simple example of the sayin 'numbers don't lie'. It helps me to keep my head straight sometimes. :pleased

Always loved it. :pek

In all seriousness, I'm attached to the number 0.

Personally, the numbers 4, 9 and 11.

I'm not sure I know of any cultural or numerological significance to the number 11.

5 because at one time I thought it was the biggest number around. Fuck 6 and 7 all the way to infinite they fucking cheated five. It was when I was 5 that I realized that 100 was bigger than 5. I cried like an idiot.

Cool! Another fan of 2. I am obsessed with the number 2 also. :)

It may be old fashioned but I consider 2 the only actual number.

e and especially i are lots of fun, but I think 2 will always be my favorite.

I always liked numbers that are difficult to conceive, like negative numbers, pi, or the square root of 2.

3. Maldini's number. Nuff said.

0. It does nothing but take up space. It represents nothing. Anything minus itself is this number. This number plus itself is this number. A number multiplies by this number, is this number. This number subtracted from a number, is still the same number.

149. I have no idea why this number has always stuck with me, but if I am asked to say any number at random, this number always comes to mind. It is also one of my past pin-codes, room-number and changing-room number.

A funny number which sticks around, I guess.

24. My two favourite numbers in one. I like it cause in my mind their shapes are much more "peaceful" then lets say 7 who is imo a rather "rough" number and thus I don't like it at the end of any number or by itself. Dunno why I feel like lets say 77 is a "worse" number than 22 it is just the latter makes my mind calmer in some way. :oh

I'd have to say i. I love the way it belongs in a universe of it's own, yet can still be used to solve mathematical problems.

a constant c, which is an element of R in the following domain (-infinty, infinty).

Ehm, I don't think I have a favourite.

4. It's been my favorite number since I was four years old. I just love the number and the way it sounds, the way it looks, everything.

8, because it's a perfect cube, and can be used to create 8D

yeah the golden ratio interests me too. its odd how 1 + 2/3 = 3/2 is so close to being true, maybe thats where they got the idea of the golden ratio from

For some reason, 222. It just seems to pop up in front of me all the time.
