malnpudl at 04:03pm on 28/08/2011I just listened to Robert Krulwich's latest "On Science" podcast Cuddling With 9, Smooching With 8, Winking At 7 (only about 5 minutes long; you can stream it), and it tickled me enormously.
Alex Bellos is an English writer and "math enthusiast" who was surprised to discover that many people have favorite numbers, and more than that, they have reasons for choosing one number over all the others. Some are remarkably passionate about the subject.

He asks for a bit of simple demographic data (optional), but nothing invasive.
Signal boost it, too, if you care to.
