And the second for today - Winner #14! We congratulate Reader8363   for completing the 2022 OctoPrep Challenge! And who knows all these facts? * Fourteen is the number of forgetfulness. Huh? Who knew there had to be a number for forgetting? * In Tarot, the number 14 represents temperance, reasonableness, and self-control. Unless you forget. * A sonnet is a fourteen line poem. * Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States 1853 – 1857. The entire world has forgotten. * There are 14 pounds in a stone and 14 days in a fortnight. Unless you use the stones to build a fort. In a night. * A cuboctahedron is a solid with 14 sides. It has six squares and eight equilateral triangles. * Vermont became the 14th state in 1791. * In hexadecimal, 14 is represented as E. * In binary, it’s 1110. * The moon waxes for fourteen days and then wanes for fourteen days. Wax on; wax off. Sonnets have been written about the moon. (Generally not in binary.) * Fourteen is the atomic number for silicon and the (approximate) atomic weight of nitrogen. * In China, the number 14 is unlucky. A fact best forgotten. Unless you’re in China. * In golf, a player can have no more than 14 clubs in the bag. Seriously, forgetfulness has a number? Thanks to this web link for this information:http://dearkidlovemom.com/fourteen-facts-about-the-number-14 I personally want to see the cuboctahedron as a drawing. Anyone?   CHEERING QUEEN    |
