Winner # 17! And another for today! Annette Author IconMail Icon comes in at the number 17 slot. Good job!

Congratulations and best wishes to you from all the cheerleaders! Wish her well everyone!

The number 17 and its weirdness:
* Seventeen is the only prime number which is the sum of four consecutive primes (2,3,5,7). Any other four consecutive primes summed would always produce an even number, thereby divisible by 2 and so not prime. The sequence of residues (mod n) of a googol and googolplex, for n = 1, 2, 3, ..., agree up until n = 17. (Does anyone know what googol and googolplex mean??)

* According to MIT the number 17 is the most commonly randomly selected number between 1 and 20.

* The periodic table of elements is arranged into different groups, and group 17 is made up of halogens, which include five elements that are chemically similar. Chlorine, one of the halogens, has atomic number 17.

* The youngest recipient of the highly sought-after Nobel prize was Malala Yousafzai, who was just 17 at the time. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her struggles in advocating the rights of young women and children to have fair access to education.

*One of the most commonly known forms of Japanese poetry is Haiku, which imposes a strict rule on the number of lines and syllables allowed. The first line must have five syllables, the second must have seven, and the last line must have five. The total number of syllables in a Haiku is 17.

I was told there would be no math.



Kidding. Math is cool.

Somehow I knew this would draw you out. Math is cool. I don't understand it all, but it is fun.
