Do others also feel that uneven numbers are nicer and smoother than even numbers which feel edgy and hard? Even more so prime numbers.
To me, even numbers are bouba, and odd numbers, especially primes, are kiki.
I like 303, very friendly like a shamrock.
But not 707, too sharp.
404 is weird.
27 is one of my favorites.
I have always liked 8, but mostly because 23
3443 is another great one.
I’ve always liked the number nine because it feels round. Not the shape, mind you. The concept of nine.
Uneven numbers feel more alive and even numbers feel more settled.
5 is like an honorary even number.
5 is so crisp
12321 feels like a gentle hill to me
I can kinda see it.
How do you feel about 5040
something square. a mesh
5x4 rectangle, subdivided
80085
I’m from the 80s so I get that
How about 65535 (2^16-1) ?
This number always feels like a completely full glass, one drop would overflow it.
Yeah, I feel prime numbers are more complete, like a sculpture. Even numbers feel like a pile of 2x2 cubes stacked by a toddler unless they have loads of factors (e.g. 24) which have a great mandalaesque sense of symmetry to them.
121 is my favourite number.
You have it backwards.
7 is jagged, 2 is a circle, 24 is almost a perfect sphere.
17 is nice and round
What? 17 is a triangle. 33 is nice and round.
Huh? 33 is all bumpy. 69 is Nice. Also round.
It’s not about the literal shape of digits, it’s about the feeeeeling!
I’d say 7 is pointy, but not really jagged. 2 is rounded and pebble like, but I’m not sure if I’d call it a circle, more pill shaped.
You’re an odd duck.
I dunno about using the descriptors of “smooth” vs “hard”, but I definitely find some numbers more pleasing than others. I have no idea why. I guess for me it’s more about the flow of them, how they’re ordered, how they LOOK. It has nothing to do with primes, odds, even, etc. Like, I just see some numbers and think “I don’t like that one” but then others I’m cool with. 5112 is nice, 7654 I don’t like, for example.
No! Even numbers are nice and smooth, powers of two being silky smooth. Odd numbers are awfully jagged, but have their uses. Primes are like 80 grit sandpaper. Rough, but very useful.
Yes. Thank you for speaking the only truth in this thread.
The number 1024 is my favourite, it feels like a smooth slippery ice skating rink, with lots of room for activities.
12 is another good number, it feels like a sharp 12 pointed knife, very good at slicing things up evenly.
