  1. Q: What percentage of the 200,000 people picked 37 as their random number? If 37 is indeed truly a prime of half of all numbers, then does that not make it the equivalent of a 'dimensionless physical constant such as the 'fine structure constant' (about 1/137) and therefore fundamental to the construction of our Universe? If so, on an atomic and DNA coding basis all intelligent biological entities might be structurally 'forced' to favor 37. <I ignore the 69 spike because the survey was conducted in English speaking culture and 69 has been a number of sexual titilation amongst Western culture using Arabic numerals ever since Playboy magazine started using it as an expression of a specific sexual position and that concept went global and remains so today, but not so much in cultures using different numbering systems, which were not included in the survey shown even though they make up a larger segment of the planet's population. It would be interesting to see if a similar survey conducted in countries that use a variation of Sanskrit glyphs as numerals also produced 37 and 69 as a most common answer. >
