46
This past week I wrote the description for Blind Date.
The ten stories in Blind Date by Robert Hobkirk range in length from two to forty-six pages. No matter what the length of the story, the protagonists have one thing in common—they are struggling. One may be struggling to find his place in the sun. Another may be struggling to find a little shade. The stories take a look at the human condition from a different angle. The ten stories are “Blind Date,” “A Perfect Life,” “Kathy’s Struggle,” “Two Sacks of Groceries,” “Maurice Utrillo – Making Do,” “Junior High in Smog City,” “A Sure Thing,” “Sarge,” “Coffee Bums,” and “Electric Sheep Looking for Friendlier Pastures.”
This is what Wiki said about the number 46:
"Forty-six is a Wedderburn-Etherington number, an enneagonal number and a centered triangular number. It is the sum of the totient function for the first twelve integers. 46 is the largest even integer that can't be expressed as a sum of two abundant numbers.
46 is the 16th semiprime. 46 is the third semiprime with a semiprime aliquot sum. The aliquot sequence of 46 is (46,26,16,15,9,4,3,1,0).
Since it is possible to find sequences of 46 consecutive integers such that each inner member shares a factor with either the first or the last member, 46 is an Erdős–Woods number."
Go around spouting that and u could fool the folks into thinking u were some kind of brainiac.
