1179657 2011-02-19 22:51:00 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!
:D Freud thought everything came back to sex!!

1179658 2011-02-19 22:57:00 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'm not worried about various connotations of 69. I'm more worried about the fixation this other PressF1 member seems to have with the number and if there are any ramifications I should be aware of later this year.

In the meantime I have gone on a course of Valium to reduce my stress levels. By the way I'm not married and don't want to be married.

1179659 2011-02-19 22:58:00 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.

Me too Snorkbox (October) At least we will get it over before we are hit by the dreaded 2012 comes along!!

Tuiruruhas made me feel quite proud to be an upcoming "Sixty-niner"

Ken :clap:clap
