Huzzah! Winner #21! The lucky V.K. Vance hit the finish line tonight at #21! Congrats to you! The field is getting smaller and smaller as NaNoWriMo gets closer and closer!
And of course, the Number 21 is very curious:
* 21 in Roman numerals is XXI.
* 21 is a triangle number ā it is the sum of the first six whole numbers (1+2+3+4+5+6=21).
* 21 is the eighth number in the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.
* A shape with 21 sides is called a icosikaihenagon. Is someone drawing all these curious shapes for me?? Send me an email and get a prize!
* The summer and winter solstices take place (usually) on June 21 and December 21 respectively.
* There is a lake in the US state of Minnesota called Twentyone Lake.
* Between 1717 and 1816, a British coin called a guinea was made up of 21 shillings. (Until the 1970s, shillings still existed; there were 20 shillings in a pound, and 12 pence in one shilling. It was a confusing time.)
* A game of badminton ends when a player reaches 21 points.
