Interestingly, the six Lucky numbers of Euler add up to 79 (the atomic number of Gold no less), which is the same as what you get when you take the characters L, U, C, K, Y, 7 convert the letters by rank in the Classical Latin alphabet 12, 21, 3, 11, 25, 7 and those six numbers also add up to 79.

86 = 19+9+14 + karma = 19+9+14 + talk 09:32, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And as if that weren't enough, 79 is a so-called sexy prime with 73. Guess what S, E, X, Y converts to in the Classical Latin alphabet? 19, 5, 24, 25, which add up to 73! According to the article, "The term 'sexy prime' stems from the Latin word for six: sex.". First question... wth? And second of all, didn't I see the number six already?siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia

As it turns out, I was looking up various finite simple groups and was amazed at the amount of "numerology" there was in actual mathematics, particularly the so-called Monster group. And I was like, "I better look this up. Maybe there is a way to find the correct Eddington number." Ok. Maybe I meant Eddington ratio. So anyway, after some short time wandering around the idea, I found pages at http://homepages.math.uic.edu/~ronan/sporadicgroups which appears to give a rather good context of this stuff. I soon looked at (http://homepages.math.uic.edu/~ronan/163) and then (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/163_%28number%29) which took me to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heegner_number) which in turn took me to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_numbers_of_Euler). So two days after typing the older stuff above and a few minutes after editing my user page, I was like, why not add up something. Ok! First, let's add up the letters of the name of the world's oldest profession. And there it was. 163.siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia

P.S. Well I added the letters in P, R, I, M, E to see if the sum was prime. The sum is 61, and 61 is prime. I noticed that this is 18 less than 79. I remember that the letters of my first name K, E, V, I, N also add up to 61. But I figured, why say that here? That's not important here. Then I looked up to see to if 61 was the 18th prime number. When I looked for it (List of prime numbers#The first 500 prime numbers) There it was. 61 IS the 18th prime number. Yes folks. It just happened like that. P.S.S. T, H, E, S, U, M adds up to 86.siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia
