What’s Your Favorite Number?
|As of about a week ago (when I last checked), seven is still the global favorite, dominating every class, nationality, gender, religion and age category. (Though this is all very preliminary. The real data mining doesn’t begin till the fall.)
Seven isn’t a shoe-in. It’s being chased by a small pack of prime numbers, especially 11 and 13.
So that’s the horserace. But the real fun is in the heart race; why do people choose the numbers they do?
