What is the significance of the number 18?

[Nikamichi]

This past year, I've had two life changing experiences each occur on the 18th. This was just within a few months of each other. I've been seeing the number more often and the thought that this number might have a deeper meaning has been lingering on my mind.

Does this number mean anything to you on a personal level? Any historical significance?

Well I was born on the 18th of October.

Beer can come in 18 packs.

It's the opposite of 81, which is worn by both Terrell Owens and Randy Moss, neither of whom won the Super Bowl.

1+8=9, which is usually the number worn by the best player on a soccer team. I think Pele and Romario wore 9.

Holes on a golf course.

Hours in a day.

 

[MovingTarget]

3+3+3+3+3+3=18
6+6+6=18
9+9=18
18=18

2(3)^2=18
sqrt(324)=18
2*3*3=18 (prime factorization)

Divisors are 1,2,3,6,8,18.
18 (mod 26) corresponds to the letter R in the alphabet.
18 is 22 in octal

18 is an even integer, (integers are subsets of Rationals and Reals, etc)
18 is twice the sum of its decimal digits.

Personal level? Not much more than any other numer. I'm a mathematician (in training...hehe...)

TBH, you can choose a random number out of thin air and then suddenly it seems to show up all the time in your life, its actually pretty cool if you do it on purpose.

 

[lyssword]

It is not one of Lost numbers, therefore it's an insignificant number. My logic is undeniable!

I'm way farther ahead in days than you are, though. Looking young for your age and early retirement ftw.

Man, this is a GREAT time to be a Patriots hater.




As for 18, the judge tells me that it's a very significant number indeed.

18 is a male number. If you rotate the 1 in 18 by 90 degrees, then you'll see what I mean.

This is really funny. I have had to really bad accidents in my life. Really bad big time damage. Both happened at the eact same place .


First 1 june 20 1982- 5 months in hospital.

second 1 june 20 2004 4 months in hospital . Things didn't work out so well this time.

I was the victom both times had zero chance of avoiding it. First never see coming . Second one I seen him coming but I was inline . Ran right in to me . Dam drunk drivers.

So I really don't know what to think about June 20. Because it was also the luckiest day of my life. June 20 1972 I got married to the greatest woman on earth.


Go Figure.

Meh, it could still be awesome in either scenario.

 

[Captante]

It comes between 17 & 19.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

it almost sounds like a swear word in korean. so when you go into korean chatrooms, or play games w/ lots of koreans in it, you'll see quite a bit of "18181818181818"

kekekeke

 

[skace]

if you subtract 10 it becomes 8. Think about it.
