| 1179647 | 2011-02-18 19:40:00 | 69 is just a number. Some people avoid the number 13 and use 12A instead. Maybe you could just say that you are 68+ and avoid the problem. | Bobh (5192) | ||

| 1179650 | 2011-02-18 21:53:00 | I always ask for row 13 on the plane. Wikipedia is helpful on the number 69 - it is apparently the number after 68 and the one before 70. Who would have guessed? |

Got refused as it "was not appropriate". Why not have a LXIX Birthday then? :D |

| 1179654 | 2011-02-19 21:41:00 | Forget 69, that's the Imperial measurement. The metric equivalent is "181"... ;) Sounds better when someone asks your age too - much more impressive!! |

| 1179655 | 2011-02-19 22:08:00 | Forget 69, that's the Imperial measurement. The metric equivalent is "181"... ;) From here (en.wikipedia.org(number)) - Interesting, eh? ;) The aliquot sum of sixty-nine is 27 within the aliquot sequence (69,27,13,1,0) 69 being the third composite number in the 13-aliquot tree. 69 is a semiprime. Furthermore, since the two factors of 69 are both Gaussian primes, 69 is a Blum integer. Adding up the divisors of 1 through 9 gives 69. Because 69 has an odd number of 1s in its binary representation, it is sometimes called an "odious number." Of note is that 69² (4 761) and 69³ (328 509) uses every digit from 0-9. 69 is equal to 105 octal, while 105 is equal to 69 hexadecimal. This same property can be applied to all numbers from 64 to 69. On many handheld scientific and graphing calculators, the highest factorial that can be calculated due to memory limitations is 69! or 1.711224524×1098. The number 69 can be rotated 180° and remain the same. |

| 1179656 | 2011-02-19 22:40:00 | I was going to say that aside from the sexual connotation why else would anyone be worried about the number 69 ? I did not know of any significance the number had, until I read Tuiruru's post above. (But then again I only got 14 for school Cert maths) I think a lot depends on if Snorkbox is married or not. If he is he may be able to make the odd suggestion to his wife! |
