The number 23

Did anybody else see the movie The number 23? I just watched it and it's weird to think that 23 could come up so much! I was born in 1972 so 1*9+7*2= 23. My wife was born in 1973 so 1+9=10 10*3=30 30-7= 23. My daughter was born in 1995 so 1*9+9+5=23. My mom and dad both were born in 1941 so 19+4*1=23. Its weird but I have to use my brother whole birthday 11/3/1964 to get 23 but 1*1*3+1+9+6+4=23. It's just weird I thought!

1974
9-7=2
4-1=3
2 followed by 3 is 23.

Wierd. And I was 23 once too come to think of it.

Son-in-law's mother is obsessed by number combos like this. Got lucky and downloaded it off the net for free. Watched it before I sent it to him to give to his mom, and wasn't overly impressed. To borrow from a 'statistics' quote: 'Number combos like this are like prisoners-of-war---beat them up enough and they'll tell you anything you want them to!' My 66 Slick was made when I was 16--so 66-16=50 (DOH!)

actually according to numerology born in 1972 makes you a 1 not a 23... 23 is actually a 5 and to be totally accurate you have to include the month and date of your birth (and to be even more accurate you have to include the hour minute etc)
your wife would be a 2 BTW and as stated you actually can make any combenation of numbers equal any number you want if you look hard enough. like say 32 instead (23 inversed) take 1972 ok here we go 72/1=72 now 72/9=8 ok now 8*4 (4 being the number of numbers in the 1972) =32 oh wow check that out thats just to wierd but if you then ad the 32 properly it equals 5 which check it out coincendently is the same as if you ad 23 together (2+3=5....3+2=5 also)

Oh and then if you take the 2*3 you get 6 minus the numerology number of 1972 being a 1 you end up with...... 6-1=5 OOOHHH man that just can't be.

I never said the movie was great I just never realized you could come up with a number like that all the time. It can be done with your slick and age when it was made. 1966 and 16 6*6=36 36-9=27 27-6=21 21+1+1= 23! I'm an accountant and I never realized this, like I said I just thought it was funny.

sure take the 21 in your screen name. 21*2=42 4-2=2 then add that 2 to the original 21 and viola you got 23

Probably so, like monsterbaby and jimbeamalki said if you look hard enough at any combination of numbers you can make them come out to what you want them to come out to.

I started watching it and got bored halfway through and turned it off. That movie was either hard to follow or extremely stupid.
