If you take 4 +7 you get 11 and if you add 1 and 1 you get 2. But if you do that sum in binary you get 1. 1 and 2 divide half of all numbers including 50 which is my age this year

Spooky or what?





Edit: Damn. Mis-timed. I wanted it to be at 12:47, but did it too early

A courier has just come in with a package.

As would be expected, there is a mathematical truth behind these numbers such as 23 and 47.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_cototient_number

The first few highly cototient numbers which are primes (sequence A105440 in OEIS) are

2, 23, 47, 59, 83, 89, 113, 167, 269, 389, 419, 509, 659, 839.

Now I am getting totally freaked out.

In the street that I grew up in one of the houses was number 47

We lived in number 4 so weren't that near it but even so it is very spooky!

OMG!

When I got to work this morning, I had 52 unread emails in my inbox. When I had deleted 5 of them, I had 47 left. And then I deleted most of them as well.

Some interesting responses. Definitely something strange going on here!

Also 1689 (post count) - 47 = 1642

1642 = English Civil War started.

This is getting spookier and spookier :-)
