Week 21 Highlights

11 May 2011

Four Rooms

 

Welcome to week 21. Or Week vingt-et-un, if you're so inclined. Or, indeed, French.

21 is the sum of the first six natural numbers. 1+2+3+4+5+6=21.  It's also the sum of 18 and 3.  And 11.6 and 9.4. And possibly other combinations of numbers too.

21 is also the number of our Century. Unless you use the Coptic calendar, in which case it's 1727.  Which must mean George II is on the throne, and we all have terrible dentistry.  And, even worse, the TV hasn't been invented.  Which means we can't enjoy this smorgasbord of televisual deliciousness.
