HOW DID I MISS THIS
2,187 is a lucky number. I assume they picked it on purpose, but guys. I am so excited by this idea. A mathematically lucky number is one that survives something like Eratosthenes sieve. It’s an algorithm to find prime numbers.
You find a prime and then you cancel out all the multiples of it. What you’re left with are primes. Occasionally a number that isn’t prime survives the process and is called “lucky.”
We all knew Finn was the inverted version of Leia in TFA. But they both survive things they shouldn’t have. They squeak by and survive a regime who reduces humanity to numbers and destroys individuality in the name of fascism and control. IDK. I just think this is so cool.
Okay, yes, I am reblogging my own gifset but this is a really cool addition.
They picked it on purpose because it’s the title of a short film that inspired the original star wars. Still a cool addition though.
