Mine's 26 because it is double 13, and 13 is an unlucky number in itself.

But 26 is twice as bad :lol:

I don't like numbers like 4 and 29

Mainly because I like multiples of 5 and if I see a number that's almost 55, or just over 60 (for example), I get an urge to add or subtract one to make it a multiple of 5.

I do this IRL like when taking steps or counting things :lol:

420, because it's stupid, for obvious reasons.

Oddly, I don't like the number 26. I don't mind 13 and don't believe in lucky or unlucky numbers or anything like that, but I do have preferences of numbers based on their properties (e.g. 10 and 100 are exceptionally good).

I like 26 less than I normally would an even number.

I have tried to work out a system for exactly why I like or dislike the numbers I do, but haven't quite worked it out yet. My "liking" of numbers is instinctive but there are strong patterns to it (generally speaking multiples of ten are best, multiples of five also good, even numbers better than odd numbers that aren't multiples of five...).

307 because it's a mushy yellow color and all the digits clash. 37 is almost as bad.

7 but I don't know why - been so since I was very little. 6 was always my fave.

17 is a just plain ugly number. :? I'm not too fond of 19 either.

I like numbers in multiples of multiples of a base 2 number. Like multiples of 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. This means the number 64 is greater than 60 for me and 61 or 65 are both ugly. 63 is less ugly because with a zero based index, the highest number of entries when the number is 64 is 63... 64 numbers with 0.

0 = good
1 = ok
2 = good
3 = ok
4 = good
5 = bad
6 = bad
7 = ok
8 = good
9 = bad
10 = bad
11 = bad
12 = ok
13 = bad
14 = bad
15 = ok
16 = good

and so on :)

I dislike even numbers unless they are multiples of ten.

616 is bad, 13 is good and 2012 should change the world

56 is a crap number. add the two digits and it becomes 11, which is crap. 370 is god, add 3+7 and you get 10, if you add the zero onto the end it's 100, 10 squared. I also like 2 multipied by two repeatedly, that's the system ram works on (2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,1024,2048...)
