Well it used to be anyway.

I've been kicked, elbowed, headbutted and stamped on accidentally in the groin by my kids 59 TIMES since Xmas day.

Make that 60.

68 (sixty-eight) is the natural number following 67 and preceding 69. It is an even number.


68 is a Perrin number.

It is the largest known number to be the sum of two primes in exactly two different ways: 68 = 7 + 61 = 31 + 37. All higher even numbers that have been checked are the sum of three or more pairs of primes; the conjecture that 68 is the largest number with this property is closely related to the Goldbach conjecture and like it remains unproven.

Because of the factorization of 68 as 22 × (222 + 1), a 68-sided regular polygon may be constructed with compass and straightedge.


A Tamari lattice, with 68 upward paths of length zero or more from one element of the lattice to another.
There are exactly 68 10-bit binary numbers in which each bit has an adjacent bit with the same value, exactly 68 combinatorially distinct triangulations of a given triangle with four points interior to it, and exactly 68 intervals in the Tamari lattice describing the ways of parenthesizing five items. The largest graceful graph on 13 nodes has exactly 68 edges. There are 68 different undirected graphs with six edges and no isolated nodes, 68 different minimally 2-connected graphs on seven unlabeled nodes, 68 different degree sequences of four-node connected graphs, and 68 matroids on four labeled elements.

Størmer's theorem proves that, for every number p, there are a finite number of pairs of consecutive numbers that are both p-smooth (having no prime factor larger than p). For p = 13 this finite number is exactly 68. On an infinite chessboard, there are 68 squares three knight's moves away from any cell.

As a decimal number, 68 is the last two-digit number to appear in the digits of pi. It is a happy number, meaning that repeatedly summing the squares of its digits eventually leads to 1:

68 → 62 + 82 = 100 → 12 + 02 + 02 = 1.
Other uses
  • 68 is the atomic number of erbium, a lanthanide
  • In the restaurant industry, 68 may be used as a code meaning "put back on the menu", being the opposite of 86 which means "remove from the menu".
  • 68 may also be used as slang for oral sex, based on a play on words involving the number 69.

Liking this thread some bland some informative some even educational, some entertaining.
My motives are without such merit or even a little subversive.
70, purely to keep Dale Evans off the top.
God guys aren't you bored shitless of that guy now?
Good Night all, Knackered, matchsticks keeping my eyes open.

The "Rule of 72" is a simplified way to determine how long an investment will take to double, given a fixed annual rate of interest. By dividing 72 by the annual rate of return, investors can get a rough estimate of how many years it will take for the initial investment to duplicate itself.

For example, the rule of 72 states that £1 invested at 10% would take 7.2 years ((72/10) = 7.2) to turn into £2. In reality, a 10% investment will take 7.3 years to double ((1.10^7.3 = 2).

1. What is it?

Seventy-four seabream (Polysteganus undulosus) are migrating, spawning fish known to form aggregations on rocky reefs. They were once the most common linefish consumed in KwaZulu-Natal, however, due to overfishing, stocks collapsed and they have been specially protected since 1998. They are currently listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN list of threatened species. Fishing of any kind is prohibited.

2. How was it caught or farmed?

Seventy-four seabream are fully protected species, therefore no one may catch, sell or buy them in South Africa.

3. Where is it from?

Seventy-four seabream are endemic to the region extending from Knysna to Southern Mozambique. Due to its protected status, management is through catch inspections.
