What Is Your Lucky Number?
Is it number 7, right?
In everyday life, many occasions contribute to the mental work of knowledge and meaning associated with a number. Although numbers have been a part of our lives, they are in some situations that have little to do with mathematics. From the pin code of phone to home address, from our age to the model of the car, they always present numbers. The numbers that help us understand mathematics can sometimes be thought of distinctly from mathematics. When you think of the number seven, for instance, you can ask why everything is so much related to 7.
Why is everything 7?
Why are there seven days a week?
Why is James Bond encoded with 007?
Why are there seven dwarfs in Snow White's fairy tale?
Why are seven sleepers known in Islam and Christianity?
Why does the seven-armed candlestick, one of the symbols of Judaism, have seven arms?
Why is Istanbul known as the city of seven hills?
