The ultimate harmonic number
 
So, what is, in your opinion, the ultimate number?

Bonus points for identifying the significance of these numbers!

The answer is 'other'.

According to Harmonica Theory, the numbers are1 through 10 inclusive:

Even I know that. And I don't even play the harmonica; I'm an artist!

Anyway, they ALL blow. But they also (and I think this is why they're real important in the Harmonics world) all draw! Being an artist, maybe that's howcome I happen to know the right answer, I dunno.

Unless she's a working girl and you don't want to pay her. Then it can get very, very whore moanius (so I'm told).

I had an old girlfriend (actually she was only 18) once who could do that while playing the harmonica! It was symphonic!

I had one of those damned bottles once and I could just NOT figure out how to orient to it much less put ANYTHING into it. So I threw it at the wall and smashed it. I thought it was totally ambiguous.

I actually tried to do that, grabbed my collection out of the drawer and ended up throwing them away too.

They'd somehow gotten tangled up, were chained together and I couldn't get them apart.

I'm told that's topologically impossible, but I also get computer problems that are binarily impossible. I think I'm hexed. I know I'm binaried.

One is the loneliest number. And don't go around asking your friends if they are one. If they ask you if you are one two, say no, unless you are one.

It reminds me of the Buddhist at the hot dog stand.

According to Dr. Sheldon Cooper, "The best number is 73. Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror (37) is the 12th and its mirror (21) is the product of multiplying, hang on to your hats, 7 and 3. ... In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1,0,0,1,0,0,1 which backwards is 1,0,0,1,0,0,1."

Yes but two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one.
