Congratulations to our Winner #20! LdyPhoenix   is the first of what will I hope be many today! Congrats to you! Everyone send best wishes please! As promised, a special prize is on the way LdyPhoenix. A few fun facts about 20: * 20 is the smallest primitive abundant number. * An icosahedron has 20 faces. * A dodecahedron has 20 vertices. * 20 can be written as the sum of three Fibonacci numbers uniquely, i.e. 20 = 13 + 5 + 2. * Divisors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 * Binary: 101002 * Factorization: 22 × 5 * Numeral system: vigesimal * There are a total of 20 different possible moves that you can legally play at the beginning of a game of chess. * The atomic number of the chemical element Calcium is 20. Calcium is actually a metal that’s alkaline in nature, but most people are familiar with it due to its high concentration in milk. * If someone has 20/20 vision it means that they have perfect eyesight. The idea behind this is that if you can read a specific set of letters on a chart at a distance of 20 feet, then your vision couldn’t get any better! Although the metric equivalent of this would be 6/6, with perfect vision at 6 meters, most countries that use the metric system still refer to it as 20/20. * In the sixteenth century, a Hungarian king called Mathius Corvinus declared that one in every twenty households was required to furnish his army with a fully armed soldier and a horse. The Hungarian word for 20 is husz, and these soldiers on horseback became known as hussars. * Have you ever picked up a Rubik’s Cube and struggled away at it for hours on end? It turns out that a Rubik’s Cube can always be solved in 20 moves or less, no matter how mixed up it is!   CHEERING QUEEN    |
