| 1. | 1 | So simple, so independent, yet everything in terms of numbers somehow comes back to it. | |
| 2. | 0 | The concept is pretty cool. And that whole thing where you can't divide by it still boggles me. | |
| 3. | e | i like getting interest in my banking, so I have respect for this number. | |
| 4. | π | Does this make me shallow in the eyes of math geeks? | |
| 5. | 1691 | Read it upside down and you will be amazed! |
Numbers are ok i suppose.

| 1. | Phi | i even got it permanently inked on my body | |
| 2. | 0 | in chinese, the numbers are all extremely simple (the characters). yet, zero is one of the most complicated characters i know. interesting, how it clearly came long after the integers | |
| 3. | 1 | it's amazing to me how much you can do with this number | |
| 4. | e | calculus really is one of the most amazing things i've ever known. and e is so closely related to all of it | |
| 5. | i | in the words of cipher, what a mind job |
i'm gonna name my kid after phi. either phi-be, phi-ona, etc. i love it

| 1. | Phi | The most natural number not in {1, 2, ...} | |
| 2. | i | An imaginary number--come on, who doesn't love that idea? | |
| 3. | 0 | The denial of 0 kept the greeks from discovering calculus--that's pretty impressive. | |
| 4. | 1 | From which all integers arise! | |
| 5. | e | Euler's constant; comes up in unexpected places. |
Pi doesn't get a mention in the top five, because pi is overrated!
