The 23 Enigma

[Calobi]

A lot can also be ascribed to numbers like 40 recurring (ie god created the world in 40 days and 40 nights, it builds from there).

Wasn't it done in 6 days and nights? Then he rested on the seventh which became the Sabbath before moving on over to Sunday for some reason.

Now the Flood. There's some 40 days and nights stuff. Plus zombie monster aliens, depending on where you're looking for the term's definition.

A bunch of random facts with the number 23 won't convince anyone with any common sense of anything.

Jimi Hendrix was born November 27[small]th[/small] 1942.
Where's the 23 there?

Not 23, but I totally just over-thought through that date. 1942: 4+2=6, 6+1= 7, 9+7= 16, 16+11 (November being the eleventh month) = 27.

On topic, I personally think the OP has too much time on their hands. The 23 Enigma is fun to look into, but I don't take it seriously.

The movie "The Number 23" was alright....

That's odd. There was a movie to this effect.

And it was shit!

Come on it had Jim Carrey in it...

I thought it was decent as well, I don't know why everyone was bashing it.

It's alot better than most B-Class movies, it's quite clever in some regards...
23 can equal so many no.'s eg. 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,32,etc. It's no wonder it shows up so offten

 

[MMMowman]

I just feel offended that it's not 42.

42 means to die... 1+2+3+4+5+6=26, 26*2=42 two die
"The HGTTG" fans probably alreadly know this

27/11 (nov)= 2.4545...x1942=4766.7272...
ignore decimals 4+7+6+6= 23

Numbers say what you want them to say
There's probably some way it does equal 23

42-19=23.


FUUUU-

August 23 Birth date of Keith Moon, original drummer for the Who.
Average Lunar Cycle Average Lunar Cycle is 28 (23+5) days.

well if some drummer's birthday is on the 23rd, it MUST be a conspiracy!

and where the hell did the 5 come from? i've heard of the 23 thing before but it just seems like they've randomly pulled 5 out of their arses to get more 23's...

next thing will be that someone famous sleeps 8 hours a night... OMG 8 + 15 TOTALLY = 23!!!! CONSPIRACY!!!

Yup, 27-1-9+4+2=23.
There must be some merit to this.

There is actually - November is the 11th month of the year, so that would be 11/27/1942. Treating each digit as a separate number, if we do the following, 1+1+2+7+1+9+4-2, we get (you guessed it) 23. That took me all of 30 seconds to figure out and I didn't even have to resort to cheatery like counting the number of letters and the like, just simple addition and subtraction.

[small]Gildan in no way endorses the paranoid delusion that the number 23 is in any way relevant to your daily life, he just likes doing pointless math every now and again.[/small]

Edit: Somebody beat me to it with an alternate methodology apparently - all the more reason to suggest it's really easy to make things equal 23 if you want to.

yeah going to go with crazy here because omg lol you have too much time on your hands.

If it makes you feel any better 424242 occurs at the 24242nd place in PI and 242424 occurs at the 424242nd.

Ahh the folly of human nature, trying to find a pattern to everything, even when you can plainly see how stupid this is.
