You know I read this way too early in the morning and first thought there was a typo in the title (missing an l in Recta) but then I thought, "Whoa! Why would you want to stick a compass there!". Sorry about that.

I'll play 23 please

thanks for the chance Neil

thank you

John 23 (strange enough, in Italian smorfia -lotto/dream symbolism- 23 is the number of the uptold typo

)

Whole number? I was originally gonna go with pi. But then I thought, maybe only whole numbers count. Of course, it could also be rational numbers and then pi STILL wouldn't count.

But I could go with a fraction. So I thought 22/7 is close to pi. Why? Cuz I like pie.

Then I thought if all real numbers apply, shouldn't I pick Euler's number? I mean it's swiss and all...

Yeah, it's irrational, but still hugely practical.

So I'm left in a conundrum. Do I go for pi, e, a rational number, or do I play it safe and pick a whole number...

The bottom line: I wanna win. Since e and pi circle the number 3, that's what I'm going for.

3 Mr. Whippy (as close as I dare to e or pi)

It's between 1 & 50 and you need to copy and paste the list.

You could have always gone with an imaginary number, although I am not sure if those count either?

I figured Neil would say "Get real."

Plus, are imaginary numbers between 1 and 50? I don't really know (sq rt of -1 is exactly positive....)
