73 is the Chuck Norris of numbers.

Name the character and you win a prize – a Unicorn*!

*This unicorn is purely fictional and will only exist in your mind. Prologue is in no way responsible for providing you a unicorn. Come on people, really?

    I think 49 is a pretty cool number. 49 is a square, 4 is a square, and 9 is a square. I’m not quite sure why 73 is so great.

      Oh, I like 49 too. But Sheldon’s reason is thus:
      “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 7 and 3. … In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001 which backwards is 1001001.”
