Numbers where first counted in tens in Egypt in 3100 BC.

I do remember early in my education I was taught that 3 and 7 were God's numbers, I can't remember the lessons just the numbers. My early education was given me by Catholic educators. There must be a clue there. I like 7 also.

hi barehugs I have not thought much about it and what the heck is my lucky number if I do have one, unless its ten as I always feel a year with an even number always turns out to be full of good things while the odd ones usually are full of unpleasant things. superstition or just observation.

Cool post. I can understand how the Ancient Greeks would have been confused about zero. I would have expected the debate to be more about whether zero was a number rather than one. But if one was also a brand new concept then maybe that could have been confusing too; perhaps they thought that there was no need to quantify something until there was more than one of them. My favourite number is also 7! To be honest I think that 7 is probably most people's favourite number, as it's widely considered to be a lucky number. I've always tended to favour odd numbers in general, I'm very much an odd-number person!

this post has some really interesting fact in it. I also really like 7 and don't know why. I guess it just feels right, solid, like a good number, If I see a 7, I automatically feel good about that 7, better than 9 or 3.
