Many interesting coincidences have been observed, relating to the number 23 (the late Robert Anton Wilson wrote about this at some length, and of course there is even a movie about it) but there are also lots of interesting coincidences concerning many other numbers, and chances are, something notable can be observed about practically any number you come up with. We are always counting things and attaching numbers to things, everything happens at a specific time that can be described by a number, and a specific place that has an address, and involves a specific number of people and objects, having specific weights, speeds, monetary worth, and various other factors all of which can be described by a number; there are endless opportunities to find numbers and to find coincidental relationships between numbers. Consider the fact that in the radio comedy program (later made into novels, a TV series, and a movie) called "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Douglas Adams suggested that the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42. This was a joke, however, many people heard or read this, and started looking more closely at the number 42, and guess what, there are all sorts of interesting coincidences involving the number 42. It works just as well as the number 23. And it was chosen at random.
