19+4 = 23
18+5 = 23
17+6 = 23

This pattern goes all the way from 22+1 to 1+22! Check it out if you don't believe me.

Edit: Whoa, I just realised this continues forever if you include negative numbers!!!

can that be proved? how much evidence is there? is this coming from Shakespeare or something? haha...
look at whats directly above your w key on your keyboard, go on right now
this is irrelevant. The way the key board is organized is actually from typewriters. Frequently pressed keys were spaced apart to avoid jamming when they were hit too closely in succession. It stuck when computer keyboards came along, not a sign of conspiracy. =_=

come on v-nix... this is silly....
but 23 is in fact in my birthday
Well my birthday is the first so nyaah! The date doesn't add up to 23 or 32 in any way. It's the first of september. The year doesn't change anything either no matter how you add it.


and, haha... I like davids post..

Ditto. I like to satire [gic].

Whoa guys. I just realised that there's a book on the table over there. The table has FOUR legs. The book is TWELFTH Night by William Shakespeare. It takes SEVEN steps to reach the table.

Do you see it yet?

4 + 12 + 7 = 23!

well, considering my equations are just month+date+year i think my equations are a bit more interesting, especialy events that change the world,
i now have 34 dates facts and times that add up to 23 in my scrapbook, 34 of them that you could check yourself on the internet,
19+4 = 23
18+5 = 23
17+6 = 23

This pattern goes all the way from 22+1 to 1+22! Check it out if you don't believe me.

well, duh, but what im saying is its the dates and times of events in my life and historical that add up,
1+22=23 WOW. didnt see that one coming... lol

It appears he's utterly retarded and completely missed the point...

On another note :

If you're going to make up some ridiculous number game, at least stick to your own rules.

True, but I don't think there are any specific rules, especially since it's not a game. You just try and find any way things can add up to or otherwise become the number 23.

Hooray, BwS sees it!

Seriously, there's thousands of dates and times and years out there that if you add them together in a certain way, you get whatever number you want. It's an amusing coincedence and nothing more.

OMG I have a 320 page notebook! 32+0 = 32 = 23 reversed!

It's not so hard.

Sounds fun. And also, I lol'd at most 'evidence' stuff. Well found.
'look above the W key'... Lol'd.

But I'd be REALLY impressed if you can find stuff like this on 42... 8)

Maybe you should find a new obsession; spelling properly, for example, would be a very nice obsession.

Actually, Earth spins on a 23.5 angle.


That's why the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn are at 23.5 latitude.





It's like MAGIC! :O
