I have no idea why. It just speaks to me! My husband's favorite is 9 because it's the largest digit.

7. It was my number in soccer for years.

I have two! 8 and 11

21, 11 and 9. Odd numbers are so much better than evens.

I'm quite fond of the number 10. Nice and even and round and the basis for our entire number system.

Every number is special in its own way, though. I really like this story that GH Hardy tells about Ramanujan, the last great mathematical genius:

I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No", he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."

The two different ways are
1729 = 1³ + 12³ = 9³ + 10³.
