Pick a random number between 1 and 100. Don't think. Just pick.
Most people pick 37. In a survey of around 200,000 people, 37 won. It beat every other number.
Why? Because 37 does not feel chosen.
It is not round like 50. Not lucky like 7. Not neat like 25.
It feels like a number a human would say. So we all say it.
A few more:
Your body, right now, is 37 degrees Celsius.
37 × 3 = 111. 37 × 6 = 222. 37 × 9 = 333. Keep going and you get 444, 555, all the way to 999.
The company behind Basecamp is called 37signals. It is named after 37 radio signals from space that nobody has ever been able to explain.
So yes. A good number.
