Drunken Number 8. The value that keeps on giving!

Depends on the magic result sought.

I can't believe no one has said this yet.

69.

64 percent. Any time you're asked to put a number on something, use 64 percent. It's high enough to be better than a coin flip, low enough that you don't get burned if you're wrong, and specific enough that it sounds like you know what you're talking about.

I don't think I really have one, but for the purposes of this thread, I'll go ahead and borrow one from a close friend of mine: 111.

Because of her I notice this number all the time, and have been doing so for at least 12 years. (It's incredible, for example, how frequently I happen to glance at the clock at exactly 1:11.)

Fun fact: you cannot post a comment that is just the character '0'.

Hm. I know how I cheated, I'm just not sure how mike9322 cheated.

Just checking things out. What weird behavior. I can't post a "0" normally, but I can (and did) as admin., and I can copy-paste as an ordinary user and it will show up. Veddy intaresssting.

taz, my post was "0 " (without quotes). There must be a trim() in there that removes the space when it actually gets posted (or maybe the browser itself trims it when it is displayed), but the space is what allowed me to get it to go through. And now my reputation as a 1337 h4xx0r is ruined.

22. Sometimes it's my talisman and sometimes I can't stand it. And I was also born on Wednesday.....(NOT coincidence)

666, cause it spells out MOM on the phone number thingy-ma-jig. And who among us doesn't like your mom?

Mine is 222.

There are reasons for this, but it doesn't feel worth explaining.
