First time I’ve seen someone write so much about their favourite number. Gave you a horsey for that !

A real one or only the reaction?

3 for berserk
3 for a trio
3 musketeers
3 Primary Colours
3 Little Pigs.
3 for life!
Doesnt it seem magical seeing this beautiful combo on lichess: 3355, i know it has 5, but it isnt possible to get 5 points in a tournament in lichess without a 3!
3 FOR EVER!

Like the first answer, 7 is one of my favourite numbers due to being the objectively coolest-looking digit (prove me wrong). But my favourite number is RELATED to 7.

1/7 = 0.142857

As you're about to see, 142857 is a very special number.

if you rotate 142857's digits by any amount, it will always be a multiple of 142857, and it's the only 6 digit number with this property.

142857 = 142857 * 1
428571 = 142857 * 3
285714 = 142857 * 2
857142 = 142857 * 6
571428 = 142857 * 4
714285 = 142857 * 5

Therefore, the first 6 multiples of 142857 are cyclic permutations of each other. And if you go JUST a little bit further, 142857's 7th multiple is 999999. I find that kinda funny.

My favourite number is 7 because the majority of my ratings have a 7 in them. I swear that was not deliberate! Reading up to here you are probably thinking oh god not another stupid post made by a dimwit who probably has an IQ of 7 but your opinion is about to change because I’m about to take you on a journey through the wonders of the number 7.

7 days of the week, 7 colours in a rainbow,

7 notes on a major scale, 7 seas and seven continents.

7 dwarfs in Snow White, 7 brides for seven brothers,

7 ages of man, 7 voyages of Simbad the sailor

7 pillars of Islam, 7 horcruxes in HP

Last but not least how can I forget the 7 deadly sins.
ever your username has a 7 in it
